Not a hope of paddling unless it involved salty water but Debra was up for a walk so it was out with the boots and up onto Scafell Pike. Followed the beck up from Wasdale Head but even that and the little-used path alongside Piers Gill was busy, so I decided on a kind of compromise, between the Styhead zig-zags and Piers Gill. Result! Ended up being forced onto an ever-narrowing neck of a ridge by two becks that ran from deeper and steeper ravines; a really interesting and teasing walk since, until we actually got to the top, we never knew if we'd have to reverse all the way down again! 3:45 to the summit then back down to Mickledore and Hollowstones, keeping high on the west flank of Lingmell back to the car at Wasdale Head.
