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.
We parked the car at walna scar carpark and then walked around and spent the day climbing at dow crag, finished climbing around half 7 and headed around to the old man visiting brimfell on the way. It was dark as we reached the summit with a clear night sky, and views down to blackpool and the isle of man. we then followed the footpath down through the quarry and back to the car park.
