Scafell via Foxes Tarn & 

return via Slight Side 

11.5miles 3400ft

Setting off from Wha House in Eskdale....

....Whilst being watched 

Passing below Scale Gill force

Samson's Stones with Slight Side( L) & Scafell (R)

The path continued climbing the right hand side of Cam Spout falls...

....before climbing up Foxes Tarn Gully rising to the left from where this man has just descended

Looking back down the gully, Foxes tarn no longer exists having dried up leaving just a trickle down the gully

Bowfell from the scree path above the gully leading to.....

Scafell summit 3162ft

Lunch time admiring the view to Wastwater from the summit saddle

Also to Wasdale Head

Lunch over I did a circuit of the craggy summit, looking here into Mosedale with Pillar at its head 

Scafell Pike on the other side of Mickledore with the usual large numbers of walkers at its summit

Looking down Deep Gully with Scafell Pinnacle centre right

Great Gable centre left and the very popular zig zag path to Scafell Pike below left

Looking down on Mickledore from Broad Stand with its Mountain Rescue stretch box, which  shockingly  was recently vandalised. A lone walker (centre) climbs towards Scafell Pike

Starting the descent over Long Green & Slight Side

Burnmoor tarn (L) & Wastwater (R)

Arriving back at the car following the long and somewhat uninteresting trek along the side of Quagrigg Moss

Despite the above comment this was a fabulous day's walking in some really impressive mountain scenery
