Scoat Fell

Overview

Grid Ref: NY 159 113
Area: Western
Group: W/PIL
Ordnance Survey: OL4
Wainwright Guidebook: Seven
Although often climbed from Wasdale as part of the 'Mosedale Horseshoe', Scoat Fell has no fan club and few devotees, for the long plateau forming the top compares infavourably with the more shapely summits of other fells even easier of access from Wasdale Head; the top of the mountain is never improved by mans handy work, only a simple cairn being acceptable.
