    Scales Tarn is at the base of Sharp Edge and is a great place to stop and make the desicion of whether to go the scramble route or the steep climb to the left. You often see many people sat having lunch here.

      Not a mountain to miss. Heading into the lakes you see Blencathra on your way to Keswick. Depending on the route up it you choose it can be a steep climb but worth every minute of it

        Great spot to have a cuppa before the accent up Sharp Edge!
