### 🏆 ENGLAND'S HIGHEST MOUNTAIN

At 978 metres (3,209 ft), Scafell Pike is England's highest mountain and one of Britain's most famous mountain challenges. The summit is rugged and exposed, with conditions capable of changing rapidly. (nationaltrust.org.uk)
Scafell Pike was also donated to the National Trust in 1919 as a memorial to Lake District men who died during the First World War. (nationaltrust.org.uk)

# 🧭 YOUR ORGANISER / MOUNTAIN GUIDE

The event is led by an experienced, professionally trained mountain hiking guide and qualified mountain leader, with first-aid training and extensive experience leading people in mountain environments.
Our guide has completed the Scafell Pike hike more than 50 times over the past 20 years and knows the route, terrain and mountain environment extremely well.
This experience helps us manage the group, navigation, pacing and changing mountain conditions throughout the day.
