Walking and Hiking Photo:

On the summit of Scafell Pike
The Southern Fells,
The Lake District National Park,
Cumbria, England

This is a picture of my son aged 9 when he went on a lads weekend with his dad and friends and climbed (apparently he skipped, ran and jumped most of the way) to the top of Scafell Pike. He loved it and is looking forward to his next climbing adventure.
