The scree leading to the start of Lord's Rake

Danny starts the climb up Lords Rake to the 1st col

Danny arrives at the col with the Mickledore ridge leading to
Scafell Pike behind him

The path then continues to the 2nd col....

....and then crosses the amphitheatre to the ridge leading up to
the summit

Danny standing on the 2nd col
with summit of Scafell Pike now in view

Great Gable

Scafell summit, England's second highest mountain 964m (3164ft)

The view west to the coast with Waswater and Burnmoor tarn

Danny in contemplative mood after lunch on summit.
[Do you mean he's knackered! (A.D.)]

Wasdale Head from Green How - almost down!
Thanks, Danny for your company on another exhilarating walk and for doing all the long drive. [Michael]
