A long hot walk yesterday. Thankfully the morning was coolish with the cloud, as predicted, lifting mid morning. We parked up at Seathwaite and then up to Styhead tarn. Piers Gill had it's head in the cloud and cloud swirled around the tops with hints of blue sky beginning to appear. Then along the corridor route and up between Scafell Pike and Broad crag - a good scramble. After that we returned down the main track to Lingmell Col, a quick nip up Lingmell and back down the corridor route, in the heat of the mid afternoon, to Styhead and Borrowdale. Back at the car the air temperature was in the high twenties ...no wonder it had felt a tad warm!

Looking back down to Borrowdale; across to Piers Gill and Rocky.
