Scafell Pike

Wainwright Walks Series 1
Episode 4 of 4

Julia Bradbury explores the work of fell walker Alfred Wainwright. She faces Scafell Pike, England's highest peak, and must reach the 978m summit before darkness falls.

Julia Bradbury faces the ultimate Wainwright challenge of Scafell Pike. England's highest peak marks the climax of Julia's journey to explore the work, passion and the legacy of Alfred Wainwright, a man who has inspired millions with his illustrated guides to the Lake District. Before tackling the 3,000ft ascent, Julia seeks advice from celebrated fell runner and local sheep farmer, Jos Naylor. Then it's just a case of getting herself and her film crew to the roof of England before darkness falls.
