Scafell Pike is the highest mountain in England, at an elevation of 978 meters above sea level.
It’s a killer of a hill a long slog up and then very rocky at the top.
Steep at the middle section. We'll worth it. Especially for the view up top of the Pike. Manageable for any fitness level.
Steep up and down, but great view of the lake all throughout.
This route is described elsewhere under a different name with more reviews. It’s basically The shortest and least pleasant way up. It’s a prerequisite to actually know what you’re doing with a map and compass. ...as well as having them with you as the weather changes at the drop of a hat. The route finding near the summit can be poor. Boots people - it’s a rough hill and far too many people get carried off by MRT.
