LOCAL EXPERT TIP

“A lot of people get disorientated on the lunar-like summit of Scafell Pike, making it easy to make a wrong turn, especially in low cloud. Simple skills like knowing how to execute a bearing or orientate a map can get people out of trouble here. If you’re really unsure, it could be worth hiring a local guide for this peak.” Matt Le Voi, lakelandmountainguides.co.uk
