Great End & Esk Pike

Sunday 21st October 2018

A walk from Seathwaite with an intended target of Scafell Pike, but weather conditions became so bad that we decided to abort as we crossed the boulder field near Ill Crag. A consolation climb up Esk Pike was hastily arranged - as ironically the weather eased up after we turned around. A pretty damp day was rounded off with TWO punctures (courtesy of those sharp edge stones on the Borrowdale Road) and a few hours stuck in Keswick - then to cap it all A66 closures and major detours ! Don't you just love this hobby.
