The Southern Fells Include Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England, occupy a broad area to the south of Great Langdale, Borrowdale and Wasdale. High and rocky towards the centre of the Lake District, the Southern Fells progressively take on a moorland character toward the south west. In the south east are the well known Furness Fells, their heavily quarried flanks rising above Coniston Water.
Early morning ascent of Scafell Pike via Brown tongue and Lingmell col in the dark with heavy rain and strong wind with poor visibility with a group of three picking up two others who were a lost.
