| Weather | High cloud during most of the ascent, opening out to sunny intervals. Occasional patches of low swirling cloud.

| Notes | Advised by cottage owners to be at the National Trust car park by 7am. Actually, this was unnecessary - the car park doesn't typically fill on weekdays. However, it meant we climbed in the cool of the day and got great views from the top before the cloud closed in later. Three Tornados flew extremely close overhead as we approached the summit of Scafell. |
