Walk all the 3000ft Mountains in England

Walk all the mountains in England over 3000ft above sea level

The English 3000ft'ers comprise 6 Mountains that rise above 915m (3000ft) with at least 30m (100ft) of reascent on all sides.

The highest point is Scafell Pike and all are within the Lake District National Park in Cumbria:

one in The Eastern Fells Area area (Helvellyn)
one in The Northern Fells area (Skiddaw) and
four in The Southern Fells area (Scafell Pike, Sca Fell, Broad Crag & Ill Crag)

Most fell walkers walk the English 3000ft'ers in 4 walks - though it is possible to complete the task in just three walks if you are really fit - see walks c110 and c271 below.

The 4 walks you should walk are:

Bagging Scafell Pike, Broad Crag, Ill Crag and Sca Fell in the same walk is very strenuous due to the huge descent and reascent required to cross the col at Mickledore which lies directly between the two mountains.

However, it is possible using walks:
