Dave Gent and  Andrew will be heading to the Lake District on Monday Feb 7th for 4 and a half days of Wainwright bagging. If the weather and rock is dry, they will be doing scrambles en route to the summits. They’re also hoping there will be some snow and ice on the tops so they can get some winter walking and mountaineering in. Potential Wainwrights include Allen Crags, Glaramara, Rosthwaite Fell, Seathwaite Fell, Eagle Crag, Sergeant’s Crag, Ullscarf, and even Great Gable, Great End and Esk Pike.

The hostel has a bar, serves breakfast and evening meals, and has free wi-fi. Besides the usual selection of rooms, camping is available and they also have glamping pods. The Scafell Hotel and it’s Riverside bar is not far away and does evening meals 6-9pm.
