hello
Im going to do my first mountain walk in the laked district tommorrow. Bit of a rest day so not to long. I was thinking of going up a path on Scafell Pike but only because its the biggest so not the best reason. My fave walk around snowdon is crib coth ridge or snakes and ladders in the slate quarrys so if theres any thing like that which is a bit exciting that would be good. Also It would be good to see some crags. I havnt looked at any maps or guide books yet
As a climber I think you'd like Jack's Rake (Grade-1) on Pavey Ark. Good scrambling with nice exposure. Great views at the top and great pub at the bottom
Also Pluses for Sharp Edge on Blencathra and Jacks Rake. I've done them all for the umpteenth time in the last month and they never cease to give a great buzz.
