SCAFELL PIKE WITH CREW FROM GERMAN TV ARD


John and Jack White, along with Paddy Cave and Dave Willis helped German TV Station ARD reporter and film crew to reach the summit of Scafell Pike recently. Walking in from Borrowdale, the Corridor route provided plenty of wintry conditions and some steep snow slopes in places, though fortunately the freezing level rose to 850m which made things easier. Pride of place went to a folding bike, which reporter Bjorn had taken with him throughout this travelogue, and which he insisted on carrying all the way to the summit - a good effort! Lots of snow high up on Scafell still.
