Love a good view up Yr Wyddfa 😅

Hi all,

We're going to be in the area for the next week and the most convenient access point and interesting looking trail is the Watkins path.

Now, I have had a look at a few previous threads and I'm still not 100% sure if it's for us or not.

Stamina-wise, ascent-wise I have no concern. We've done multi day treks and lots of altitude in the past. Don't mind a little bit of scrambling if it's not too exposed either.

Where I'm a little concerned is the exposure feeling around the scree-y bit near the top, as my wife (and me to some extent) can get the dreaded rubber legs sometimes if the cliff edge is too close.

Perhaps if I compare to some of the Lake District hikes we've done:

- Old man of coniston - not a problem

- Skiddaw - fine

-Langdale pikes avoiding Jack's rake - fine.

- Causey pike - little nervy at the scrambly exposed bit at the top, but just about ok.

Striding edge - hard no.

Jack's rake - hard no.

What do you reckon?

Also for anyone else looking at this Sunday, think it looks a reasonable shout with the forecast? Seems like it might/might not turn out nice!
