Scafell Pike left (L) and Ill Crag (R) from Throstle Garth gorge |
Mickledore Gap from the River Esk crossing Great Moss |
Mickledore again with Scafell (L) and the ridge to Scafell Pike (R) |
Nearing the top of Mickledore |
Scafell Buttress from the Mickledore ridge |
The mountain rescue post on the ridge complete with stretcher etc! |
Scafell Pike's summit cairn and trig point with no shortage of walkers despite the misty conditions. (978m 3208ft England highest peak) |
Looking ahead to the descent down Little Narrowcove |
Crinkle Crags come into view having now dropped below the mist |
An unusual view of the Langdale fells to the east (Harrison Stickle & Pavey Ark) |
Crossing Lingcove Bridge back at Throstle Garth |
Looking back up Eskdale with Ill Crag in the gap (L) England 4th highest peak at 3068ft |
