Scafell Pike - The QUICKEST most DIRECT route // The Lake District

Описание: What is the quickest way to the top of Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain? Is it from Seathwaite via the Corridor Route or from Langdale via Esk Hause? Well, it's neither. The quickest and most direct route is actually from Wasdale (no surprise there really) but via Mickledore; the narrow col between Scafell Pike and its little brother Scafell.

In this video I take you up to the top of England via Mickledore and then onwards to marvel at 3 incredible views that will simply take your breath away - if you can see them, that is!
