The weather looked amazing for the last weekend of March, so I decided to drive up to the Lake District in South West England for another adventure.
Scafell Pike is the tallest mountain in England, standing at a towering 978 metres above sea level. Every year, it attracts over one hundred thousand visitors who attempt to summit it's epic peak.
Whilst Scafell Pike is a fairly accessible mountain for intermediate walkers and hikers, it does have its complex sections that you need to watch out for. With paths blanketed in loose rocks, towering crags and steep slopes, this is certainly a climb to remember.
In August of 2021, I took on Scafell Pike as part of the national three peaks challenge (video on channel) but I started climbing it at 1am in the morning. If the pitch black darkness wasn't enough, the relentless rain and chilling wind made it a horrific climb that I'll never forget. Luckily, this climb was sunny and so clear that I could see the landscapes for as far as the eye can see.
I parked in the Wasdale Head car park and set off at 9.10am in the morning.
