Scafell Pike conquered - two down, one to go!

Lunch on Scafell Pike

Having conquered Snowdon when they were much smaller, Emily and Aidan were determined to complete Scarfell Pike before hopefully completing the trio next year in Scotland.
Setting off from the head of Borrowdale on the best day so far we were thankfully sheltered from the worst heat of the sun most of the way up to Styhead and then by the Corridor route by mist.  Though the top had cleared while we were half an hour from reaching it the cloud swirled in as we approached the summit.  It was like a regular party with probably no less than 50 people there at any one time while we ate lunch and glimpsed the views as the cloud cover varied.  We returned by Sprinkling Tarn to add a bit of variety, and were held in awe as a shepherd controlled four dogs to select out the unshorn sheep from those which had been on both sides of the valley and drove them on downwards ahead of us.
Despite the strenuousness of the day three happy but weary walkers returned down in just under six hours.
