Climbing Scafell Pike in November

Q. I am visiting The Lake District with family at the beginning of November this year, a few of us wish to go up Scafell Pike and would appreciate any advice that may be available, eg, time we should all, weather conditions etc.

A. For climbing Scafell Pike see Walks

• c110 The Eskdale Skyline from Wha House Farm, Eskdale

• c111 Scafell Pike from Wasdale Head, Wast Water

• c166 The Scafell Masiff from Wha House Farm, Eskdale

• c172 Scafell Pike via The Corridor Route from Wasdale Head, Wast Water

• c194 Scafell Pike from The Old Dungeon Ghyll, Great Langdale

• c197 Lingmell and Scafell Pike from Wasdale Head, Wast Water

• c215 Scafell Pike from Seathwaite (Borrowdale)

• c233 Sca Fell and Scafell Pike from Wasdale Head, Wast Water

• c271 The Scafell Massif from Wasdale Head, Wast Water

• c370 Scafell Pike from Seathwaite (Borrowdale)

• c416 Scafell Pike from The Old Dungeon Ghyll, Great Langdale

• c453 The Scafell Mountains from Wasdale Head, Wast Water

• c454 Scafell Pike via The Corridor Route from Seathwaite (Borrowdale)

And make sure you bear in mind that November days are short and often cold and there is likely to be snow on Scafell Pike summit.

The weather conditions in the high mountains can change very quickly - particularly in the winter months - so make sure everyone in your party has winter walking experience and is properly equipped for all conditions.

Hope this helps
