Scafell Pike

Looking north from the top of Scafell Pike, at 3209 ft it's the highest peak in England.
Walked up the quickest, but steepest route from Wasdale and back down the longer and less busy Borrowdale route. A really good day, thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the different aspects of this hill.

Wastwater, Wasdale. The most peaceful place on earth 💙
