 Scafell Pike : 978m. Scafell is located in the western area of the Lake District National Park and is mostly owned by the National Trust. During the summer months, Scafell and the surrounding area becomes very busy with visitors, many car parks and facilities becoming full to capacity. Access roads into the area are small, mostly single track, and can quickly become congested. Scafell may surprise walkers with its rocky and rugged paths, becoming very steep and unrelenting towards the top. Lower paths are well defined and gentle, but don't be fooled into relaxing your navigation. The Pike is very often covered by mist, the rocky plateau around the top can disorientate weary walkers. Extra care should be taken underfoot when descending to save ankle and knee problems. Walking poles may be useful for anyone who suffers with leg problems on steep, rough descents. Route from Seathwaite : From parking in the lane, quietly go through the farm and follow the main path easily to Stockley Bridge. Cross the bridge and continue along the path into Styhead Gill, more steeply now. From the mountain rescue kit at Sty Head, bear left then turn right onto the Corridor Route, through the crags to Lingmell Col. Bear left here for the final climb to the top.
