Scafell Pike - England's highest mountain at 3209ft, is a magnet for fell-walkers of all abilities. The suggested 10 mile 'Corridor Route' (involving 2810ft of ascent) traverses below the dramatic crags of Great End and Broad Crag, across deep gills, and through corries linked by sections of terrace. The summit of Scafell Pike is a giant boulder field of shattered rock of the Borrowdale Volcanics which vary in size from small stones to large boulders scattered over the top and down around the sides. Cairns mark meandering paths searching for the easiest way through the agglomeration and go off in all directions making it a particularly confusing place especially in cloud, darkness, or poor conditions.
Seatoller to Keswick - the suggested 8 mile 'lower level' linear walk (involving 1296ft ft of ascent if the optional summit of Castle Crag is included) visits the water and ice carved 'jaws of Borrowdale', constricted between the steep slopes of King's How & Castle Crag. After a three-line whip cafe stop in Grange, the scenic route follows the Cumbria Way to the market town of Keswick.
