- Hello everyone! Welcome back to my RUclips channel. Scafell via Lords Rake Solo Scramble - Corridor Route - Scafell Pike - Lake District.
This adventure I'd be tackling 4 Wainwrights on a circular route around the Scafell Group of mountains including a steep descent down Mickledore and a scramble up Lords Rake. This is a fantastic route tagging a few other summits and well worth trying if you're confident on your scrambles.
These were the summits bagged on this walk;
🗻 Lingmell Col (737m)
🗻 Scafell Pike (978m)
🗻 Mickledore (830m)
🗻 Symonds Knott (959m)
🗻 Scafell (964m)
🗻 Slight Side (762m)
Apologies this video is a day late this week but I had some challenging personal issues and knew I wouldn't be able to upload on time so I have scheduled this in advance to go out on the Thursday at 6pm.
I have already scheduled a bonus video this week at 6pm on Sunday from a hike last year with my daughter up Pendle Hill which I never released on RUclips so keep a look out for that. It was our first proper hike and hope we can do more this summer when she's ready to get back out.
Next weeks video is already edited and scheduled and will be out on Wednesday 22nd April and will be the return to Tryfan. I had the opportunity to go back and take on the same route as last time with another group and couldn't pass the opportunity up. So pushed some more challenging lines and decided to take the camera and film it.

Loved the journey mate having just done Scafell Pike for the first time myself. Looking forward to checking out your other videos
Brill thanks Chris. I’ve had a little break from the videos but they’ll be back again in a few weeks regularly again. Needed the downtime to be fair but missed getting out making them. Off to do the Tour Du Mont Blanc in a couple of days which should be good.
First time watching a video of yours, great video! Will be subscribing!
Aah cheers Charlie I appreciate that and great to have you on board
Great video Kris, keep em coming 😊
Cheers Brian appreciate that.
Fair play Kris, working it out as you go calmly and safely. Cracking video. Subbed
Thanks William great to have you on board. Definitely wasn’t easy to follow and couldn’t see the path I intended to take but all worked out well in the end.
Well done hun this looks amazing xx
All thanks Mel I appreciate that
Nice video pal. I essentially did the same route today but I went up foxes rake to scafell instead. Wouldn’t have been too bad but I had the dog with me so wasn’t ideal 😂.
Wow really? How did the dog do? It’s hard enough looking after yourself but dogs are ace on the hills. What type of dog too? Would love a dog one day 🤙🏼
Yeah got to do Scafell myself, very soon. Great video. Liked and Subscribed
Thank you really appreciate it. Good luck
You're a positive man , happy and chirpy - great video too 👍
Thanks Jamie really appreciate that
16:52 absolutely quality video mate, change nothing 🤘got my sub mate🤜🤛
Cheers Craig, sorry I forgot to reply. Really appreciate the feedback.
This is a great vid. Wow! Spectacular walk and the route looks fab. Just wondering does your watch have OS maps on it? If so what watch is it pls
Thanks for your comment and yeah it’s an awesome route I need to go back again soon. No the watch doesn’t have OS Maps but you can create routes on there if you like (which is what I do) and then share them to the Garmin Connect app to put on your watch. The watch has mapping. It’s a Garmin Fenix 6X Pro
@@krisgleave Thank you Kris that is great. I like the idea of having a map on the watch as well as having a paper map. Cool, will look out for your future vids :-)
@@hassnoshib3031 Me too, I literally use it for every single hike and camp and have done since I owned it. Well worth it.
Hi love the video 😊 just hope one day have the courage to do lords rake .. can I ask what GPS smart watch you have ? I have memory map app for my iPhone / iPad using O/S Maps . Just keen to get a GPS smart watch for O/S maps ! If poss.. Thanks.
Thanks for that Steve. This is the Garmin Fenix 6X Pro and highly recommend it, it’s been amazing for me and used it for years and it’s essential on every single hike.
Are the Lords Rake and the corridor route one and the same?
The difference here is the mountain summit. The corridor route takes you up to Scafell Pike. This is Scafell, it’s a different summit futher along. You have to go over Mickledore to get to this AFTER you have summited Scafell Pike. Check the video description there’s a link to my strava. I didn’t take the corridor route up I can up a different way but might help you visualise it comparing it to OS Maps
Great vid. What garmin watch is that you are using?
Thank you. On this one it’s the Fenix 6X Pro which I’ve used on every hike and owned for 4yrs. I’ve just upgraded a couple of months ago to the Fenix 7X Pro Solar Sapphire which you’ll see in my upcoming videos. Videos start again next Monday and back to weekly releases
@@krisgleave how accurate is the navigation on that 6x? Did it slightly lead you off the top part after mickledore and onto lords rake?
@@Oliverrees-horsley No the navigation is perfect on it. I just wasn’t sure of the right path as I manually plotted the route which I sent to my watch so I wasn’t 100% sure which path I should be on.
I use it for every single bike and all my long distance hikes in the UK and overseas too. Essential for me.
The 6X Pro is superb and been brilliant. Have to say the 7X is faster at acquiring GPS and loading a few things but if you were looking to buy you’d get a 6X Pro cheaper.
The X refers to the size. Mine is the largest size as it has the best battery life. Easily on a 10hr hike using it all day with the screen on for navigation and full tracking and all sorts it uses about 26% battery. It’s awesome.
Great video mate. Don't worry about talking too much. I prefer videos with commentary. I came across yours as I'm planning to do the Lord's Rake route in a couple of weeks and so your comments and tips were helpful.
Cheers I appreciate that thank you. I guess I’ll always be a waffler haha. Good look on the Lords Rake routes it’s a good one. I have the Strava link in the description of the video if you want to tackle the same route. You’ll tick off a good amount of summits too so might be a good one to follow. Let me know if you do take it and how you found it.
Really enjoyed the video planning on doing scaffel in July we managed snowdon last year myself the wife and 2 kids great experience
Cheers Steve. The Scafell route on this one not the best if you’re going with kids for Lord Rakes side however the route up Lingmell and across to Scafell it’s a great way up. Well done on the Snowdon, which route did you take?
Great video. You missed the narrow path to the left that stays close to the buttress in the approach to lords rake. Done it a few times myself. You just made it more hard work for yourself. Some extra calories burnt though. 😄
Symonds Knott is when you top out if you do the west wall traverse which is a left turn off on lords rake before you climb the cholk stone.
Aah brilliant thanks for that. I knew there was a path up there just didn’t see it! I need to go back here then tell the west walk traverse I watched a YT on that last month. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for the narrow path though. All good fun hey haha
Your videos are great! Keep it up, nice to hear your reactions and thoughts as you experience the hike. Would love to see your route and lil bit of planning as an intro to the vid - n hey don't feel too much pressure to keep up with releases or pushing to film non stop, happy to watch as n when you get round to putting it all together 👌👌
Aah thank you really appreciate that. Already don’t think I’ll have a video for Monday as the weather has been awful this week and been working so not had a chance to film or get out.
I’ll take that on board too and will try and bring that into a future video thank you
Great video. Looks like you get yourself into similar predicaments to me. Character building stuff!
Today you liked my photo and decided to check your profile and you had some very good photos and especially like their colour now found your YT and liked it, you have a new sub buddy.
Aww cheers Pierre. Yeah spotted your content I think in Paul’s group if I remember rightly? Nice to have you onboard ☺️
@@krisgleave Yep, my first solo camp ☺️
Looked great. It’s addictive isn’t it too! I haven’t camped yet in 2023 but I’ll be getting out soon.
@@krisgleave Tge conditions here compared to yours are totally different, here temp does not go below 5’C, and mostly at night is 10’C, but not forrest’s or mountains but planty of sea
@@PierreFarrugia Aah yes I see. I do fancy doing some overseas hikes this year and already have a couple I’m looking at. Time to hike in some nicer weather 🤙🏼
We're looking at doing this very thing! Can I ask how long this took?
It didn’t take too long. If you check the video link you’ll see my strava link for this hike. It’ll have the total time and the moving time on there. Can’t remember off the top of my head but think it was about 4hrs for the whole circuit but I do move quite quickly
We'll bear that in mind. Appreciate the quick response! Great video :D@@krisgleave
@patrickjinks Thanks again. I definitely fancy doing this again soon but taken on the extra section at the top
Haven't seen this done via Lingmell on youtube, enjoyed this. Symmonds Knot is the huge rocky prominence where you'd emerge if you'd taken a left at the top of Lords Rake and hiked the West Wall Traverse. In that weather you were wise not to do that. I did it in the driving rain and clag last week, and it was nerve shredding. Love the video - don't stop talking, the company is good! Subscribing.
I’m looking forward to getting back there to do the West Traverse. Had a little break the mast 5-6mths from YT as struggled to get out hiking as much but I’ll get back there soon.
The route for this one is in the description and you’ll tag off plenty of summits so well worth doing. But of a slog up Lingmell haha
Happy memories, great description and humour , well done.
Aah thank you 🤙🏼
Great video Kris. 😊 like the camera angles. And love a talker x
Aww thank you I appreciate that. I do talk a lot I must admit.
Great route. Did Scafell Pike last year but we didn’t attempt the route across to Sca Fell in the end. Lords Rake looks stunning - will have to attempt one day :)
You bagged them all yet? I’ve done 25. Gonna take me a while living down south…
Yeah it’s a good hike Scafell and a few different ways up there. Lords Rake is a cracking route though.
No ive not ticked off all the wainwrights as I was never a bagger so to speak but definitely would now like to get them all ticked off so I’ll start plotting some big hikes to tag as many as I can.
Great video, what watch are you wearing? Does it link in with OS maps?
Thanks Adam. It’s the Fenix 6X Pro and love it. Used it for a couple of years now for every hike. You can plot your own routes on OS Maps if you want like I do or download any GPX file. Then just share it / open it in the Garmin Connect app and you can send it straight to your watch.
@@krisgleave Thanks Kris, will look to grab one before my next big hike.
@adamwest4825 Id still recommend the 6 even though there’s a 7 as not much difference. They have different sizes but mine is the largest being the 6X Pro so has the bigger screen and strongest battery life.
@krisgleave Perfect thanks, looking at that model now seems just what i need. Ran into difficulty getting down the corridor route on Saturday, visibility must of been not even 20 feet, and want to be more prepared. Want a watch with GPS as good battery life
@@adamwest4825 aah yes I think they’re invaluable. You’ll use it on every hike so it’s worth every penny. If and when you buy one, you’ll also need to upgrade the maps. Check out TalkyToaster on Google. It’s about £14 I think one off or maybe less. Essential in my opinion as adds a lot more information missing from Garmin maps including contours. Everyone’s gets this who gets a Garmin watch
Love the video Kris. Looking forward to doing Scafell although I won't see much as it will be at night. What watch are you using???? Keep up the great work .
Kev
Cheers Kev. When you looking to do Tryfan at night? Is that through a group as I’ve got my name down as a maybe on one but not sure if I’m free to do it. My watch is the Garmin Fenix 6X Pro. Awesome watch and had it for a couple of years now and use for every single hike. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Essential kit for me
Great video mate….would love a gpx route to download of yr walks. Would be a massive help for us newbies!
Just subscribed. Thanks buddy. Loved it!
Cheers really appreciate that. I do link all my routes to Strava in the descriptions. There’s a free google chrome plugin to download a .GPX file off Strava. However I will have a look to see if I can attach a link to an actual GPX file for routes. Leave it with me I’ll get back to you.
Great video, Just how I remember it , trying to convince a fellow walker to undertake this exact route.
Have you got a link or video how to get routes onto your Garmin
It’s ace isn’t it. Thanks for that Andy. I haven’t to be honest but I’ll look to make a short video of how to do this as a few people have asked. Leave it with me
appreciate the confusion there...years ago as a young aussie tried to follow one (cant remember which) of Wainright's paths (the books are exquisite in themsleves). It led me into a decending path along a wall down towards one of the lakes. Would have been classic.... except the path seemed to becoming less and less defined, and was sloping of the wall. Quite a drop. Perhaps it was OK, perhaps I had mis-read the walk, perhaps the path had eroded since Wainright... but I retreated. Still gives me the hebbies to think about it.
Aah yeah always best to be safe than sorry and I guess over time the paths could change but also sometimes easy to stay off route hey
Cracking video this. You're braver than me. You sound like you're from my neck of the woods.
Aah where you from? Cheers for that. It’s a great hike and I love a good challenge.
Great vlog Kris
I hardly ever comment on RUclips views and yours is a goodun.
Enjoyed your resilience and the lets get on with it attitude.
Thanks Andy and that means a lot to go out of your way to write a comment thanks for that. I never ever watched this back, just edited it ages ago and uploaded to actually just watched it back myself for the first time and it’s inspired myself to get out on some more scrambles as really enjoyed this one.
Thanks for your feedback it means a lot
That's not the montane trailblazer backpack.... can't have nowt 😅😅
I’ve had that for over 2 years 😂
Got to be the most ugliest of mountains next to nevis
It’s not too bad but I agree it’s not the best however the summit itself has some interest. Personally I’ve never been a big fan of Great Gable.
@krisgleave agreed, Gable top is ugly as well...
The trail and the surroundings are simply breathtaking here. Great video and hike my friend! 🥾
Cheers thank you. Awesome views around there just a shame it was clagged in on the summits
Ya know Kris you can watch RUclips take the same path and no two will look the same. I like your videos very much. Keep up the good work
Dwayne
That’s so true Dwayne. Weather, conditions and even who you meet on the day. That’s why I don’t mind doing to the same route multiple times as always different. Thank you
fantastic vid Kris looked a bit sketchy at times but looked awesome loving the Orange theme reminds me of someone else i know cant recall what they call him at the min 😉
Hahahah don’t get him started haha. Cheers though I appreciate that. Definitely a sketchy hike but a great one you’d love it
Another great video pal. I hope you enjoyed Coniston today. I was unable to join you but I will soon.
Cheers pal. Weather was a challenge at times but had a good day out and was glad to be up in the mountains. Good group of people too
Mega sketchy when you went down off path looked dodgy that fair play tho ! Look forward to a wild camp vid mate
Yeah definitely dodgy down that screw but good at the same time and we’ll worth doing. Getting out on a camp soon just need to get some things sorted next week then I’m going to plan one. I have a video from November I may upload a week on Sunday from a wild camp with a guy I met on the coast to coast. That was in the Durston XMid. Might finally finish editing it haha
Another amazing adventure, great hike & beautiful views. Thanks for bringing us along & have a lovely day!
Thank you. Great views when I had them just a shame there was so much low cloud on the summits as imagine the view from there would’ve been spectacular. Just gives me an excuse to go back another time 😊
Great video well done 👏 ive done this route to scarfell years ago and hopefully again next month
Thanks Lisa! I want to go back and do the west traverse just near the top. Did you go back?
Great video mate, Im planning to do the same route on Saturday, wish me luck 😃
Aah brilliant let me me know how you get on. The GPX for my route is in the description too if you want to follow it. Just be careful.
Did Scarfell Pike many years ago. It's difficult because the routes are not clearly defined. Got caught in descending mist and cloud and followed a dry stone wall down.
This literally happened to me Saturday just gone, got off the mountain with about 15 mins of light left :O
It’s getting dark early isn’t it so need to allow for that. Although luckily clocks go back end of the month so hopefully improve for a month.
Another great video Kris. Already looking forward to the next one. These videos are keeping me motivated while I’m recovering from injury so please keep them coming.
Aww that’s good to hear that it’s keeping you motivated on getting back out. Frustrating when you can’t get out through injury so wish you a speedy recovery. Thank you
Really enjoyed that . Scramble was a bit hairy at times. What boots did you use? Looked very grippy.
Cheers Colin it’s a great route and not too bad when you’re there and actually on it. For this I wore my Adidas Terrex Freehiker GTX (v1 not the v2). Always loved them for hikes as don’t let water in and certainly grippy.
Last few hikes I’ve moved on to Altras which I’m really enjoying especially with the zero drop and cushioned sole. Still do love my freehikers although since wearing Altras they don’t feel as cushioned. Next time I wear them I think I’ll change to thicker insoles.
@@krisgleave oh thanks . Interesting. I like a vibram style sole and a wide toe box I’ll have a look.
Thought it was quite quiet with no other people , but it so early !
It’s a pretty quiet route up Lords Rake but definitely usually more people on Scafell but this was a cold day
Great video as always Kris 👍🏻
Nice to see alternative routes
Cheers Scott appreciate that 🤙🏼
Nice one pal, great video. Look forward to watching these every week
Brill cheers Pete means a lot mate
Great walk and a challenging descent! Nice stuff, will look forward to any wild camping you get up to.
Cheers Kev. I haven’t wild camped yet this year so this is my priority and to mix it up with the different tents I have too as have 5 😂. Really enjoyed this hike just a shame about the views from the top
@@krisgleave you can never have too many tents... I've currently got 21. It does help to provide content on the channel to have different tents to use!
@@TheWalkingKev Yeah I totally agree. But hang on….21 tents 😂😂😂😂. You should be called the camping kev haha
@@krisgleave yeah, TBF I named the channel before I started the tent addiction!
@@TheWalkingKev So out of all your tents, which is your favourite and why? Would be interested to hear
Another great vid mate, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Paul glad you like it 🫶🏼
Great video mate what is that watch I want one 😆
Haha thank you! So many people have asked I really do need to do a video on it. It’s the Garmin Fenix 6X Pro. Best thing I’ve ever bought for hiking and use it on every hike and have done for a couple of years now.
Brilliant video mate totally inspiring
Cheers Mark thanks for that. It’s a cracking route and well worth checking out.
As usual great video Kris. What rucksack are you using in the video mate?
Cheers thank you. For this hike I was using the Montane Trailblazer 30. Love it and had it a couple of years now
@krisgleave thanks Kris, I'll check it out. I'm after a small rucksack for the day hikes. Hoping to do Scarfell pike late next week, depending on weather.
@@kevsoutdooradventures Good luck! There are discounts on that bag at a few places so have a good luck. Blacks have discount codes too so have a look. It’s really good
Great video, this is my final walk to finish the wainwrights, only 8 to do roll on September
Ooush that’s amazing. Only just seen this…the question is…have you managed to finish? If so, or if not, what is your last Wainwright?
@@krisgleave yes I finally finished them only took me 16 years my last wainwright was Slight Side. Btw there's a cracking walk behind Pillar leading to Robinson's Cairn then straight up to Pillar, great views of Ennerdale
@Harry_Tuttle Congratulations that’s amazing. I’m not even sure where I’m up to I’ll have to have a look at some point but it’ll be under 100 I’m sure. Wasn’t necessarily a bagger but do like to challenge myself with the hikes from “Walking the Wainwrights in 36 Walks” as there are some crackers.
I’m potentially going to do all the Northern Fells in maybe 2 days on one hike with an overnighter. Been looking at it and plotted it but weather not the best for it this time of year. Will have to see if we get a good dry spell before the late nights come in.
I’ll check that out thank you.
Nice one Kris, looks hectic
Haha cheers Tony. It’s a great route and well worth tackling. Next time I do this I’ll head up the West Traverse
Nature is beautiful and majestic
Sure is
Top video mate, i completed Snowdon last week via the Pyg Track, looking at Scafell in September, and then onto Ben Nevis in December.
Well done, sounds like a plan. I’d have a look at the corridor route for Scafell rather than just going up from Wasdale. It’s longer but more scenic.
@@krisgleave thanks for the advice mate.
The scenery here is so fresh and beautiful
Aah thank you. Sorry I missed this comment.
First time watch,brilliant
Aah thanks Julian hope you stick around for more videos 🤙🏼. Day 2 will be out at 8pm tomorrow evening
Great video keep them coming
Cheers Wayne I appreciate that. Had a 7 week break but normal service resumes next week.
rocking it again mate - keep up the great work :)
Cheers Bilbo appreciate it fella 🤙🏼
@@krisgleave i will recommend your channel to my mates as well so you can get more subscribers - give me a few days !
That’s very kind thank you 🤙🏼
@@krisgleave no probs mate - real people help each other - just to help, not expecting anything !
Well you’re a good guy and it’s noted and I’ll remember that thank you
