Well done Anthony.... climbing well as usual.
That path beneath the Screes is, with the exception of Scafell Pike itself, the major hotspot for Wasdale Mountain Rescue callouts.... so many people get stuck on there.

While clambering over the boulders on the path below the screes, it reminded me of another location that should have had a race today, which was cancelled: the summit ridge of Elidir Fawr. Anyway, the people (and a dog) on the paddle-boards on the lake were certainly making easier progress than I was on the "path".
I should have mentioned that the winner of the Scafell Pike race was Loughborough graduate Joseph Dugdale.
In his lifetime he suffered from unreality, as do so many Englishmen.

I have done that path under The Screes several times - the first time my response was 'WTF', and each subsequent time I have felt the same - it is a bit like childbirth I imagine - each time you do it you think never again, but then the stress of the event somehow erases the memory.
I did the race back in 2011, and managed to beat Lindsay by a couple of minutes.
