Roman Ruins

On the way back from Scafell Pike we stopped in a small town called Ravenglass to check out ruins of an old Roman Bath house. Amazing to think they got this far - it was quite remote around here ... although it was a port town way back, so I guess that was the way.

Scafell Pike

This time it's England's highest mountain. By far the shortest of the hikes we've done so far. Very enjoyable and beautiful nonetheless.

We took "The Lord's Rake" route up which was a little like a shorter version of the Devil's Ladder when heading up Carrauntoohil - Lots of scrambling, scree and loose rock - Lots of fun!!! ...

Then on the way down we had a massive thunderstorm - really, really massive. I've never been that close to lightening before!
