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.
Days walking with husband. Up the band from odg, climbers traverse and up the side of great slab to Bowfell. Very very windy, 50mph perhaps. Esk pike and Rosset pike too. Six hours. Fantastic views.
