    Tips

    Hiking

    Foxes Rake is a scramble route between Scafell Pike and Sca Fell. Stick to the gully itself which has water running down it from Foxes Tarn. In winter the water can freeze so look out for icy patches, in heavy rain it can be gushing, but on a dry day you can make your way up without getting wet.

    Hiking

    Foxes Rake up to the tarn is the “easy” way to Scafell from Mickledore but it isn’t without its challenges. In summer it is usually dry so is a straightforward scramble up. In winter it can become a serious undertaking under snow, and without snow the water can turn to ice which persists because the sun never gets here much in winter.
    At least it is easier than some of the other alternatives.
