		SCA FELL PIKE, 1841. This hill lies between Eskdale and Wastdale, in the county of Cumberland; its summit is about three quarters of a mile north-east of Sca Fell, from which it is separated by a deep chasm called the Mickle Door. The station is marked by a pile, 21 feet high and 18 feet in diameter, beneath which the frame on which the instrument stood, and a centre stone with a hole in it marking the exact centre of this station, will be found. The nearest houses are at Wastdale Head, from whence the station is best approached.

		SCAFELL PIKES
		... The South Pike, which is three thousand and ninety-two feet in height, is most accessible from Wastdale or Eskdale. This aspiring pinnacle presents a more sublime and not less elegantly-varied range of mountains, dales, and sea views, than either Helvellyn or Skiddaw; a considerable part of the Lancashire, Cumberland, and Scotch coasts, with the Isle of Man and Snowdon in Wales being visible. The Pike which is three thousand one hundred and sixty feet in height on the north peak of the fell, commands a view of Windermere and Derwent lakes; and, upon the whole, presents a more com-
		Page 71:-
		[com]plete panorama than any other point. These, though only twelve hundred yards in a direct distance, are separated by a chasm called the Mickle Door, costing a distance of two miles' sever travelling to overcome. Very little or rather no vegetation is to be seen on this fell; rocks, and large blocks of stone piled one upon another, are the principal features, and the geographicus lychnicus appears in particular beauty. The distance of Scafell from any house of entertainment, the rugged ground, and the danger of being caught in mists, prevent this mountain from being visited by any but hardy pedestrians, neither would we recommend such even to venture without a guide.

		Note. The Lake district Gauges are five inches in diameter; they are all of the same construction, and are elevated about eighteen inches above the surface. The funnel rims are of stout sheet brass, so that the apertures cannot readily lose their circular form.

		REMARKS ON MOUNTAIN GAUGES.
		The Mountain Gauges are on pretty much the same construction as those in the vallies, but the receivers are much more capacious, being calculated to hold nearly 80 inches of Rain.
		The contents of the Gauges on Sca Fell and Gabel, have been frozen at the close of every month since October last; and as there is still no immediate prospect of our being able to measure off the water, I have concluded to publish the results obtained, without further delay: and, in the next report, I propose to give the whole monthly readings for 1846 and 1847 in one table.
		...
		The Gauges on Sca Fell, Gabel, and Seatollar, are on the extreme summits of these monntains; and the whole of the instruments are freely exposed to the action of wind and rain, from almost every point of the compass.

	observation	BEWARE. The naming of bits of Sca Fell and Scafell Pike is of great interest to both climbers and walkers. It is said the 'Scafell is the Mecca of the climbing world'. Both that world, represented by the Fell and Rock Climbing Club in an admirable series of guides, and the Ordnance Survey in their admirable maps, make a mess of naming and labelling bits of the mountain. Wainwright is more helpful.
	hearsay	Lehmann J Oppenheimer, The Heart of Lakeland, 1908:- ... lunch. Pockets soon emptied: bread and butter, potted meat, raisins, chocolate, crystalised ginger, and brandy - a queer mixture, and no doubt the three tourists lunching quietly at the hotel would have pitied us as much as we pitied them.
