"Good trek round striding edge. Hit a few peaks on the day. Really good weather. Striding edge is a good challenge for those who are looking for something a bit more challenging. Don’t take it lightly, there are a few points where footing is difficult. There is a path that follows the edge so an easier route is available if needed." — CB-Climb • Sep 7, 2024

"Was feeling very, very fatigued after a full week hiking and climbing in mostly serious windy and wet weather. Also made worse by the 2hr drive in from the North due to closed roads. I did debate about my choice of route and final mountain of the week. I'm glad I ticked off my final English 3000er, but by the time I had started descending, I was feeling pretty miserable. Also due to the amount of persistent rain over the last few months, descending Scafell via Foxes Tarn and the waterfall gully was both fun, ridiculous and at times down right stupid. To be safe, there was no getting around things with the amount of water flow and green slimy rocks. Had to shimmy down on my backside on some of the sections to prevent a nasty injury, meaning a lovely flow of water down the back of my trousers. All in all a very sketchy descent which is more suited to summer than the back end of winter! Also, without the hiking poles - I'd have probably slipped and smashed my head on some of the sections.

"22/11/2022 Scafell Pike via a slightly roundabout route from Langdale. Visibility not very good despite the promising forecast but it did remain dry. Snow above 2500’ but not enough to be any trouble. Usual crowds on the summit as shown in the only photo taken today. A good walk." — johnandsue4fun • Nov 22, 2022
