About Scrambles in the Lake District - Vol 1: Southern Lakes It sometimes seems that there are no inviolate places remaining to the adventurer in the Lake District. Scrambling - ascending rock that is not usually difficult or steep enough to warrant the term 'rock climbing' - can take you to many places well removed from the beaten track. Even in popular areas of the Lake District, by combining several scrambles you often hardly touch a path a rarely see other people at close quarters. This is a way of getting back to a wilder Lakeland and enjoying the freedom of rough mountain country. A good long scramble with interesting route finding, uncluttered by the paraphernalia of modern rock climbing, gives a very satisfying way of exploring England's Lake District.
