A lengthy summit of Scarfell Pike in very poor visibility. After a dreary slog up the valley visibility reduced dramatically on ascending Rossett Pike. Above 900m strong winds and snow made seeing ones feet a challenge, calling for careful navigation. Hand-railing the How Beck Eastwards, to our delight the weather improved and we became sheltered from the wind enough for a little bit of aerial videography before realising we had a very long and soggy slog back to the car.
Area :Central Fells
South of the A66 and east of the Hardknott Pass as far east as the Kirkstone Pass
