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.
Walk up was fine. Took main path via Low Water. Whizzed across to Brim Fell. Down with 3 companions met at top of Old Man. One of them twisted knee and could not put weight on it so I called MR and Coniston team came up and stretchered her off. They were brilliant and prevented patient from getting hypothermia, ambulance was waiting when we got off the hill.
