Scafell Pike Guided Ascent
After the huge success of climbing Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales in February, Maverick Mums have decided to take on our next challenge… climbing England’s highest mountain – Scafell Pike.
We will once again be fully guided by qualified mountain leader Anna Humphries (AKA Mountain Girl) www.themountaingirl.co.uk, but also a supported by Rhiannon (the adventure host) to ensure your experience is fun and safe.
Join with us on a rewarding and fully supported hike to discover England’s stunning landscape. Scafell Pike is 978m tall making it the tallest mountain in England, with spectacular views of the Lake District. Within the first hour of the hike brilliant views will reveal themselves to you and on a day with clear visibility you can see all the way to the coast and beyond. Enjoy the simplicity of being guided up the mountain with no extra stress as our guide Mountain Girl will take the navigational initiative, all you must do is enjoy the breath-taking scenery.
This is a no-frills adventure to keep costs down and make it more accessible. We are offering this adventure with shared accommodation included to be confirmed (and may mean sharing rooms). Meals will be a mixture of local pubs and bring your own.

1 day’s guiding by an experienced mountain leader on Scafell Pike
“Having had such an exciting adventure of my own I’ve found a reservoir (I didn’t know existed) of way more patience with my kids, and feel so much less concerned about all my usual worries. Not just a great after glow but extra residual benefits!
The whole experience was just brilliant, and loved sharing it with such lovely ladies! Cheers to many more adventures to come. So up for Ccafell pike!”
Poem
In Snowdon's shadow, twelve ladies tread,
Led by Anna, the mountain girl, ahead.
Through sleet and sunshine, snow and cold,
Their spirits brave, their stories told.
With banter and chatter, they climbed in glee,
Each step a bond, each view, a decree.
From valley floor to summit's height,
They conquered fears, embraced the sight.
In midst of ascent, a stumble, a fall,
A walking boot sole detached, a plight to recall.
But Jen, with kindness, her rucksack did share,
With trainers tucked in, a gesture of care.
The winds may howl, the snow may fall,
But together they stood, united through all.
Twelve souls bound by adventure's call,
A tale of courage, they proudly enthrall.
As they descend, memories they'll treasure,
Of a journey shared, of joy and pleasure.
For in the heart of Snowdon's domain,
Twelve women found strength to reign.
