Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Great End
Kevin Foster walked up on May 19th, 2022 [from/via/route] National Trust car park, Brackenclose, Wasdale Head. [with] By myself. [weather] Early cloud on Scafells lifting by midday then sunny. - A faint path beside Greta Gill took me to the col above Calf Cove. Here I turned left & headed to the wide summit of Great End with it's three summit cairns. I saw no one which was surprising as there were lots of people about on the main highway to Scafell Pike. Another top for the peak baggers only it seems?
