    What a great video. Brings back memories. Done that route many times. I camped next to Styhead tarn with my mate Steven and his Nephew in his little Vango Force 10, an unbelievable 47 years ago (can't believe we fitted in).We got caught in an absolute downpour, a stream burst its bank and decided to flow under our tent. We packed up in the dark and walked down to Wasdale Head and rang his Dad to pick us up at 2 in the morning. Happy adventures.

    I think 99% of wild campers are very responsible for leave no trace. Unfortunately it's the 1% that spoils it for everyone else. Good video. 👍

    Nice one Andy and Mrs Andy! Yeah, that's a great route up. Done the Wasdale route, Great End route, but by far the best route for me is from Brotherilkeld farm at the bottom of the Hardknot pass, up to Lingmell bridge and on to the Great Moss. So remote and gives Sca Fell Pike another perspective on the approach. Take a left up Little Narrow Cove , which is an absolute leg burner. On to the col, then a short pull up on to the summit. We wild camped at the base of Little Narrow Cove and were on the top at 07-30 all alone. Great route, try it sometime. Cheers,.

    Suggestion - Take the track to the north of the stream from Taylor Gill Force for a closer view of the falls. It involves some easy scrambling but is much more interesting.

    My fav way up and then i usually come down the corridor route. Did this in full firefighting kit and carrying breathing apparatus. It was a tough day, especially with american fire kit on which is very hefty. Love a circular hike.

    Great route. We were thinking about going from Wast Water, east to Lingmell, over to Scafell Pike, then Scafell, and back. This looks amazing too. Would you have a OSM route of this?
