An isolated and important webcam giving an invaluable view of the upper part of the Wasdale valley.

This is one of the most remote webcams and its location makes it valuable for walkers. Although it can't see Scafell Pike it will usually give a fair idea of likely conditions there as Great Gable is quite close and nearly the same height. It is an iconic view and can often give some amazing images .

Although the image is small on their webpage but I found that zooming the page still gives a good quality picture.
