@71cooper Thanks for your comments, I'm glad it's proved useful, it is a great walk

I wish I'd kept this up, fell walking I mean. Haven't had a strenous walk since 2005 and that was only Whernside. Did Skafell by this same route back in 2002. What I remember of the walk is that it gets tougher and tougher as you approach the summit. We stayed on the top for 20 minutes as it was a hazy day.

Now I'm fat and overweight and can't do it just yet: But I've promised myself that I'm gonna get fit enough to do this again and maybe more.

@neil73 You remember the route well still, keep your promise!!! Get back up there and enjoy it!!!

[neil73]

@gazfisher1000 I hope I can, but just how fit can an unfit 39 year old become? I know it's not going to happen overnight, but I'll try!

[gazfisher1000]

@neil73 It shouldn't take too long, a few of my mates (seen on the video's) hadn't done anything till 2011 and now you can't stop them! One walk can kick start it all

Damn you guys are keen, I have this all on my doorstep and will probably never see up there, not that I have any desire to go there haha

[gazfisher1000]

@W00LFY100 Hehehe, aye, we do like to travel over as often as possible. Once up there it's all worth it!!!

@daveswildcamping Many thanks, it was just a shame the cloud came in when we got to Scafell.

Next time though.........
