Wastwater to Langdale

Datum:
24.05.2009

I love this route to bits! Despite having had a rather miserable hike the previous day, this one was amazing. Great weather, and great views and greater company - which was more of an unintentional thing. Started off from the Wastwater YHA, made my way back up the tedious tarmac road to the northern end of Wastwater, and from there began the steady but popular route of ascent up Scafell Pike which runs along Lingmell Gill. Its pretty OK, nothing amazing though and it starts to flatten out after Hollow Stones. From there though its a somewhat loose climb up a gully to reach the col bewteen Scafell and Scafell Pike, but you're virtually at the top by the tim you get here. A nice gently slope up to the summit and here I was joined, as I expected by a lot of other hikers. All of us were happy faced >>>

Langdale to Scafell round

Bergtour

A classic all-time favourite of mine, done in perfect spring-like weather with crystal clear blue skies and warm enough to wear a t shirt without a jacket on top. I started the hike at 11am from Great Langdale, hoping to be 'late enough' on top of Scafell Pike to see a sunset without having to wait around on the top for too long. Bow Fell was busy with many people having lunch when I got there, enjoying the gorgeous views over Great Moss and the hazy layer of sunshine below the summits. It was nice to be in the company of other enthusiastic hikers and even though some people might prefer to have a mountain to themselves, I think a dozen other hillwalkers in good spirits is better than no one at all. From Bow Fell I took the usual descent northwards and across to Esk Pike, enjoying the views >>>

Coniston round

Datum:

University mountaineering club meet, staying at the hut opposite the Coppermines youth hostel. I opted for a hike by myself since being typical students, the rest of the club had had a late night on the alcohol and as a result were still in bed at 10am. So I took the route up Wetherlam and followed the natural line of the ridge round to Swirl How, and then toward the Old Man of Coniston. It made for a rough day out on the fells with low cloud, high wind and generally not much to see in the way of views. It was quite a relief to get back into the hut again afterwards!
