wish I took the quad tbh pal ?, my groins were the worst mate Duno if I slightly pulled them but I was in a world of pain coming down snowden oh and my knees felt like they'd been hit by a sledgehammer, great experience though

Sitting down on the toilet the day after is an experience. LOL

 

Descending stairs can be treacherous for a few days too!

You're putting me off going up in September born lol

And don't be a hero or fall for some other c**ts advice on scarfell about deviating from the worn path. We asked one chap coming off what was the best way because the main path looked boring as f**k and he sent us up the f***ing steep Ridge on the left. Two lads flat out jacked on that bit. Lol

Looking at scarfel with your back to wast water or the other side looking towards?

 

That ridge if I'm guessing right which one you mean is called the lords rake and that goat path going up it is a cnut ? Coming down it is a lot more fun

I'm not clued up on exactly what's what but off of that picture some time after the footbridge and before Lingmel Gill crossing we left the trail and turned left going straight up to the ridge. I suppose we basically summited Lingmel because we kept going up and then followed the top to Scarfell Pike summit.

 

I remember it being hard going! As I said, two of the four of our group jacked it half way up that bit, gave us their water and wished us luck. LOL

 

They just weren't fit enough or used to long days in the field but equally it was a stupid idea to go up there. A lack of proper planning and a "meh f**k it" attitude.

You'll be sound, it's a cracking mountain in fairness. I'll go up again one day soon. I think early doors is the key, miss all the tourists.

Ah back to wast water. Lords rake is to the right and yes up there can be very dangerous for the uninitiated and the initiated Mate

 

Met some right fuucking idiots up there; at the wrong time of day/year, with the wrong clothes.

I've been caught out up there and up helvelyn before now. Once had to sit a blizzard out that came from nowhere. Luckily I am always prepared and had a large split bivvie bag. Made a shelter got a brew on and relaxed for an hour or so. Wandering around, when you can't see shit and there's a couple of long drops you don't want to stumble upon is not character building
