A cloud inversion forms in the early morning cloaking the surrounding mountains in a mist and cloud. I sat and waited for the summits to clear before hiking off up towards the summit of Scafell Pike.

I camped out at Sampson's Stones on the Great Moss the night before an early morning ascent of Scafell Pike scrambling up Cam Spout and then via Mickledore. My rucksack looks dwarfed by the surrounding peaks!
