Itinerary description
One way route up to highest peak in England from the Seathwaite farm. Parking is available there for £5, even though many cars were parked by the road before the farm supposedly to avoid paying.
This route is not the regular one from Seathwaite. It is rather a mix. Because in the beginning, after crossing a beautiful bridge, at the very bottom of the valley, I took the path to the right. The regular route turns left. But at some point higher, I missed the path I was trying to follow and took a more visible path which led me back to the main track. From there, I reached the peak through the regular path.
Although I was using a GPS, it should not be a problem to go up there with good instinct and maybe some documentation. The main paths are pretty evident. And people around would be happy to give directions at the few intersections.
