There's a stream alongside the path for part of the way up Sty Head pass, and there's an excellent spring just off the path on the side of Great End as you head up from Esk Hause to Scafell (just before where the path steepens, approx grid ref 227081).

There has been a thread recently about the advisability of drinking from streams, but whatever your thoughts on this, the last spring I referred to is virtually guaranteed to be pure as it comes straight out of the ground.
Very useful info, cheers! I know the area fairly well from walking it but can never remember stream locations.
