Solo from Wasdale Head village green. Lingmell from the col, then Scafell Pike. Something I've been putting off for 40 odd years. Naturally a very busy day with lot's of lovely people about and a small contingent of the deeply inconsiderate as would be expected. Found a few grassy sections on the way back down to Lingmell col which I'd missed due to watching where every step would land on the way up. These were a blessing. Crossed to the path down from shoulder of Lingmell. Lovely views and grassy with only one tough gravelly bit. I recommend it if you've had enough of crowds and endless stone steps. | nukeboy1 | 19/07/2023 |

it was hard. | Williamr | 27/05/2023 |
Stayed at the NDG so cycled to the ODG to save some time. Walked along part of the Cumbria Way then steeply up and over at Rosset Pike and up to Esk Hause. Then the long slog through the boulders to the summit. Fortunately the early cloud cleared and we reached the summit in hazy sunshine. Good that we did this during the week as not too many people on the mountain. | pclyndes | 22/05/2023 |
