July 13, 2023,Scafell Pike – Styhead Tarn loop from WASDALE HEAD!

Whoever originally implied this hike started at Seatoller needs a slap! It starts in Wasdale Head at the complete other side of the lakes, 7.5 hrs total travel time for the day as no GPS and road closures 🤪 so it turned out to be quite the adventure.

June 4, 2022,Scafell pike - steep descent

This route is the same as another already posted on Komoot, however this is in reverse!

December 28, 2021,Scafell Pike Loop from Wasdale Car Park - Copeland Hiking

Went on the 28th December. I was surprised how accessible it was. I do recommend people climb this mountain as you will get a big accomplishment once you reach the top.
Needless to say, take winter hiking clothing, Gore-Tex is advised. Lots of wind with wind chill of 0 and below. Check the weather forecast before going.
