Conquering Scafell Pike

Corporate Hiking in the Lake District

Last month, Trekking Tom Experiences had the privilege of guiding over 30 professionals from ITS DOABL on a corporate team-building hike up Scafell Pike, England's highest peak. With 4 qualified Mountain Leaders and professional photography by Elevate Creative, this adventure combined challenge, teamwork, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the Lake District.

Starting the Adventure: Wasdale to the Summit

The day began at Wasdale, the classic starting point for Scafell Pike. Participants of all fitness levels were supported by our team of experienced Mountain Leaders, ensuring safety and confidence across steep, rocky terrain. The trail offered sweeping views over valleys and lakes, rocky outcrops, and the natural challenge that makes Lake District corporate hiking experiences so rewarding. The ITS DOABL team showed incredible teamwork, motivating each other as we ascended to the summit.

Safety and Leadership on Group Hikes

For large groups in mountain environments, safety is paramount. We had our fantastic Mountain Leaders support the day - Oli, Layla & Luke.

Key measures included:
- Maintaining group cohesion and clear pacing
- Guidance over steep or uneven sections
- Monitoring weather conditions and adjusting plans
- Ensuring all participants had the correct hiking gear
- Even those new to fell walking felt confident under the supervision of our trained leaders
