The weather was a kinder to us in England than it had been in Wales. The scenery was fantastic and it was a much more enjoyable climb. We spread out more than we had on Snowdon and, although that made it less sociable, everyone managed to find a pace that they were comfortable with.

Even though Scafell Pike is the shortest of the three peaks, it was a tougher climb than Snowdon and we were all glad to get back to the cars for some food. Some champagne at the top was well received by all!

It looks like we'll be starting Ben Nevis either in the dark, or in the faintest glimmer of light, so we're all a little aprehensive about that.
