That's the TALLEST hillock in uk ! The TALLEST building in Europe ! & a most iconic ! Just Scar Fell to do, After more than 49yrs at being T1 I am raising money for a cure with excellent team of Drs at NEWCASTLE UNIVERCITY. "NUC". Pls help if you can 😉
 
Can you imagine ? The security at "Big Ben" They were brilliant. Will not say to much but Insulin pump fixed on & ready to go ! They knew exactly what it was & were very good. Much worse than through airport :D
 
Sca Fell [964m] is not the highst peak in England. Scafell Pike [978m] is the highest point. Please ensure you climb the right peak!
 
Apparently there are a few injuries with them there pesky stones 🙂 There is suppose to be a field of them ? Thanks Northy

Yes, they can be very awkward, especially if wet, so take it carefully! 🙂

Hobie - it's ONE word - Scafell - and it's pronounced like skiffle, with the A replacing the I. Not like the mark left behind by a gash !

Think 'skaffle' Pike ! And good luck !
