Solo Winter Wild Camping Between Scafell Pike and Scafell at Broad Crag Tarn in the Hilleberg Soulo

After parking at Seathwaite farm I head up Grains Gill which leads me to Ruddy Gill. I then reach Esk Hause and turn right before stopping to collect water. I soon reach Scafell Pike summit which is surprisingly quiet, a 10 minute pit stop I then carry on to Mickeldore. After sometime searching for a spot for the night I end up moving to another location Broad Crag Tarn and set up camp there which is a spot I’ve camped at before.
Dark soon comes and the temps plummet, the night is very calm with no wind and temps seem to stay just above freezing. Dawn soon breaks and is all clear with fantastic views but very chilly. My route back down takes me back up to nearly Scafell Pike summit before following the Tourist Route back down to the head of Piers Gyll and then picking up the Corridor Route to Styhead Tarn after I climb the Bad Step. Before I know it I’m back at Seathwaite Farm and my adventure is over, a very mixed bag of weather with varying temperatures and some snow still around.
Disclaimer:
Hiking and camping in the mountains is an amazing experience. Being in the outdoors is very good for the mind, body and the soul. However the weather in the Lake District can change very quickly from a calm sunny day to totally clagged in and freezing cold.
Please hike and camp within your own abilities and with the correct equipment / clothing for the time of year.
Please Stay Safe and enjoy the outdoors responsibly.
