Black Sail Pass is the high point on the old packhorse route from Wasdale Head into upper Ennerdale and now provides a link between Wasdale Head and Black Sail Youth Hostel. It is the lowest point on the ridge between Kirk Fell and Pillar.

Fat man's struggle. The start of the Broad Stand route. About 100m below Mickledore

Three kilometres long with a height gain of almost 300m and an average gradient of about 10 per cent, rising to over 20 per cent for most of the second half.

This is definitely Hike-a-bike!!!

The old Stretcher box was replaced by the new one.

For mountain lovers, there are few more magical places in the Lake District than Mickledore, the pass between Scafell Pike and Scafell. It is an exciting ridge of rock backed by Scafell's muscular East Buttress that gives access to a number of routes onto England's two highest summits. The hiking routes to Scafell Pike from here are relatively straightforward, if a little bit rugged. To attain Scafell from Mickledore, walkers have two choices: Lord's Rake, an atmospheric scramble through a gully on the mountain's north side; or Foxes Rake, an easier but no less strenuous hike to the south. Rock climbers can access Scafell via Broad Stand, a 'moderate' climb where the consequences of a slip at the crux can be fatal. It is a mountain rescue blackspot and has sadly seen many deaths over the years. Despite being the quickest way between Scafell Pike and Scafell, it is not a route for hikers.

Sty Head is the apex of an ancient and wild trade route between Borrowdale and Wasdale, the Styhead Pass. Right in the mountainous heart of the Lake District, it separates two giants, the charismatic Great Gable and Great End, the lofty north-western termination of the Scafell massif. Its position makes it the meeting point of six distinct paths. As well as the two trails from Wasdale and the one from Borrowdale, another two seek out Great Gable, while the other ventures up into the Scafells. The top of the pass is also the location of a mountain rescue stretcher box, highlighting the seriousness of the mountain terrain that surrounds it.
