A while back:
"Hey, MaliA! Do you fancy a walk in the Lakes?"
"Yeah, ok, when and where?"
"14th July, Scafell"
"Sure, hit me up two weeks before"
Now, I have discovered Scafell and Scafell Pike are two different things, and it's looking like about 14 miles in ten hours or so with 2,200 metres of up. On rocks. It looks like rain, too.

This is a stunning path, quite narrow and perhaps a bit dodgy in poor weather....we scrambled up the the Great Slab which was a much longer climb than we thought. It was bone dry and no problem at all to walk up the 30 degree slope. I wouldn't fancy it in damp weather though as it would make a damn fine ski slope....The path from Esk Hause is wide, clear and very easy, but this soon changes as you get near Great End. Now the way is full of boulders and it is a case of picking your way across the tops of boulder fields spotting cairns here and there. Again, in today's warm and clear conditions it was no problem, but it must be a hellish place to be in foul weather - it is a brutal place.... Mickledore is the place of legends, a narrow but safe link between the two highest points in England. Steep drops on each side suggest other routes up and down
Oh, shit.
