Langdale Pikes
A fantastic walk...the best walk I've done in the Lake District so far!!
The best walk I've done in the Lake District. We started by following the Ghyll up to Stickle tarn, which is fairly easy going if you're quiet fit. We took the path around the tarn to the right and then cut across the stream to walk up to Pavey Ark. There is quite a lot of scrambling here so be prepared to use your hands as well. From Pavey Ark we went across to Harrison Stickle which again requires some scrambling but on a fine day the views are worth the effort. We dropped quite steeply down Harrison Stickle over to Pike O Stickle, which compared to Harrison it's easy going although at this point tired legs start to feel it. The last wainwright we 'bagged' was loft crag on the way down. The descent from loft crag is fairly straight forward although the gravel/loose stones are quiet slippery and I have a nice bruise to prove it.
You also get a view of Dungeon Ghyll on the way down as well. A thoroughly enjoyable albeit tough walk, a must for every keen fell walker!
