Sca Fell’s quiet sides

Invest some quality days among the Lake District’s highest fells; rich with rocky interest and grand character.

- KATE WORTHINGTO­N

Alittle investment; a beautiful bounty. Is it possible to fall in love with the familiar over and over again? This 3-day route takes its time to carve out logical and less-travelled lines over and beneath headline summits, like taking a round-the-houses way to visit old friends. With two wild camp spots perched high in the hills, you can immerse yourself in the drama of

Lakeland skyscapes, including panoramic views to the Cumbrian coast as well as up close and personal in the clutches of Foxes Tarn on Sca Fell. Absorb the light of sunsets and sunrises settling on the volcanic architectu­re of this quiet landscape. The final day offers a Scottish-feel journey home: cross country, cross water and a celebratio­n of UK mountain ‘wildness’.
