Hiking

Red Pike is a 2,710-foot (826 m) mountain in the Western Lake District that sits between Yewbarrow to the south and Scoat Fell to the north. It falls along the classic Mosedale Horseshoe - a brilliant hill walking route from Wasdale. I visited in May 2021 when there was snow on the ground.

It forms part of the Mosedale Horseshoe route, being the penulitmate summit on the long final stretch between Scoat Fell and Yewbarrow.
