The Roof of England

My latest walk up in the Lake District was a monster one, about 13 miles with 4500ft of ascent across the roof of England, from Seathwaite I walked the Corridor Route up onto Lingmell, then up Lords Rake and the West Wall Traverse onto Scafell, then across to Scafell Pike. A cracker of a walk, in glorious weather, shorts and T Shirt all the way.

Early morning looking up Grains Gill



Stockley Bridge



Looking across Styhead Gill to Lingmell and Scafell Pike



Waterfalls on Styhead Gill, with Great End in the Background

Lingmell and Piers Gill from the Corridor Route path



Great Gable across an un-named tarn

Looking back down Lords Rake



Lots of loose boulders in the Rake, scary!!



Scafell Pike from the West Wall Traverse



Surprisingly still some snow and ice in Deep Ghyll



Some big rocks in Deep Ghyll waiting to slide down, thankfully not while i was in there!!

Skiddaw and Blencathra in the distance from Scafell Pike



Great Gable and Kirk Fell from the descent of Scafell Pike



The north face of Great End and Central Gulley, a small patch of snow and ice still there, reminded me of when I ice climbed it a few winters ago



Waterfalls on Grains Gill



This was a lovely pool and waterfall, a bit warmer and I would have been in for a cooling dip



Lots of Spring Lambs at Seathwaite farm
