I was up on Scafell Pike myself that day around 12.45hrs. I came over from Borrowdale and Great End. It was an excellent winters morning on the east side up till midday

Nice one Petr. I’ve still got lingmell to do. It’s my final wainwright and trying to get a good weather window and a free weekend together is proving elusive :crazy:
Keep up the walk reports and videos there always great.
All the best for 2020 mate.

Hi Tony, thanks for your comment, glad you like it. :D
I fully understand your feelings about the time and weather, especially if need for an particular area, it makes it even harder :roll: That's one of the reasons I'm repeating too many hills I had already done ( the other is to do some hills again - with my daughter as it looks she loves the outdoor and mountains too :D ) and keeping the new hills waiting for the better weather - or at least visibility for some pics or videos...
Congratulations ! Great work, you have done almost all of them and I'm sure you will enjoy the final one in a great clear day :clap:
Maybe to see you again somewhere in Scotland or The Lakes or Snowdonia...? :wink:
All the Best to you too, keep walking and stay safe 8)
P.S. I'm not here too often nowadays, but here is my email if need: petrdakota@gmail.com
