Scar Crags lies on the ridge between Causey Pike and Eel Crags. Wainwright gave a height of 2,205ft, the Ordnance Survey nowadays says 672m. Most people will reach the summit along the ridge from east or west (although at least one Cumbrian cacher will doubtless will ascend and descend Scar Crags as a stand alone fell/cache). Scar Crags is taken to mean 'the rock outcrops on the escarpment.'
As ever with me this is a simple cache - box, log book and pencil. No room for tat, although small trackables may be accomodated. It is under a rock, above and to the left of a very small bield/shelter wall. Please look at the spoiler as this will have three effects - a. you won't trash the area, b. you shouldn't have a dnf, and c. you can get on and enjoy the rest of your walk.
The cache is placed with the permission of the National Trust.
Information about the meaning of hill names is gleaned from Diana Whaley’s book ‘A Dictionary of Lake District Place-Names’ - maybe not exactly bed time reading, but great for dipping into occasionally!
