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.
From the campsite in Eskdale, we followed the river Usk up to Lingcove Beck and then up and Over Eskpike. From there it was back down past Angle Tarn and back into Langdale. Today was a consolidation day focussing on weakness from the preceding 3 days in preparation for the last day and the qualifying expedition.
