Day 2, Sat 12 May 2018

The challenge

Rise and shine for breakfast and a bright and breezy start! From the Old Dungeon Ghyll we head north-west across the moorland towards the first peaks of the day: Allen Crags. These are the southern fells of Wainwright country, which offer some of the finest hill-walking in England. 

After a short pit stop, the next challenge beckons, Great End. From its stony summit the view stretches across the Scafells and Derwent Water. Only two peaks remain, but they are the toughest of the day so require everyone to be focussed and determined.

Next it is on to the highlight of the day, the craggy peak of Scafell itself. There is, however, the small matter of the daunting field of boulders in between, as well as a steep climb to the summit of England’s highest mountain at 978m. Ringed on all sides by crags, the expansive views take in Great End and Helvellyn to the north, Crinkle Crags and Windermere to the south-east and, on a clear day, the Isle of Man and the Scottish hills to the west.

Our return route takes us over the iconic peaks of Esk Pike and Bowfell before descending back down into the Langdale valley in time to celebrate our achievement.
