I think it's the Lake's scramble guides that say something along the lines of "children have no fear or judgement..."

As good as the scrambling on Tryfan/Bristly is, it's just too busy for my liking. Too much choice to pick. Ledge Route stands out for providing a relatively easy way through improbable terrain, and something on Skye should be included - NW Ridge of Bruach na Frith is good (grade 2 in the book, but overgraded I think).

I'd also second Mr Wick's choice of gill scrambles (though of course not restricted to the Lake District). Getting off the beaten track and finding new gorges and gills is a great way to add some uncertainty and adventure into the day.

I suggest a walk out to Rubha Hunish; the northern point of the island. It's a short walk across, then a brief, easy scramble down through the cliffs gains the headland. Fantastic spot - last time I was there there were porpoises, basking sharks, and all sorts of sea birds.

Retreat back to the PyG Inn is simple enough, provided you can navigate across the plateau in mist. It's not too taxing, but is a bit featureless:

No, it's not a steep walk from PyG at all. The path (Miners' Path) is at a friendly gradient and rocky, until it meets the plateau where grass takes over until you reach the lake. The Cefn y Capel approach is longer and much boggier, but takes in a couple of summits on the way.
