Scout Scar

Decided I need some exercise, so I went for a walk up on Scout Scar. The walk up is not difficult or hard going, but for someone who is not too fit and carrying a bit too much weight it is good exercise.
The wind was blowing from the North West, which made it feel a lot colder than it actually was, also there was plenty snow up to 6 inches deep in places. On a crystal clear day the views are spectacular, you can even see Blackpool Tower. I went to the viewing point, known locally as the mushroom due to the shape. On the roof of the mushroom there is a viewscape letting you know what hills can be seen in the direction you are facing. The Langdale Pikes, Helvellyn, and Scafell Pike are all visible. As I said earlier the views are spectacular and this is well worth the walk up.
