SCAFELL PIKE, GREAT GABLE & KIRK FELL
Join us in Wasdale to tackle what will be our most epic adventure of the year.
Meeting at the famous Wasdale Head Inn, we first head for Kirk Fell and it's fantastic views across the valley and of the peaks that lay ahead. Onwards to the huge bulk of Great Gable with an exciting approach to the summit and then dropping down into the valley to head along the Corridor Route to summit Scafell Pike, the highest point in England. Once complete, we descend back to Wasdale for refreshments at the Inn.

Although there is no technical terrain, this is a challenging hike in a remote mountainous environment where hands may be required to cover steeper rock on occasion. A good level of fitness is required. Groups are encouraged to stick together and there are no medals for finishing first.
