Description

Circular route to the summit from Holly How YHA, taking in the copper mine industry history on the way up.
The route down was via open ground and a permissive path. This was steep, uneven and very wet in places. Using some key points on the map / ground to navigate, we made our way down safely.

Area : Southern Fells (Scafell Pike)

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.
