    A perfect day today climbing the Langdale Pikes from the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel.

    We set off from the New Dungeon Ghyll just after 10am and climbed up by Stickle Gill to Stickle Tarm, the views today were wonderful.

    From Stickle Tarn we climbed the North Rake path up onto the summit of Pavey Ark.

    After a short stop on the summit of Pavey Ark to admire the views we were off again, crossing to the summit of Harrison Stickle. there was next to no wind today, and we sat by the summit of Harrrison Stickle to eat our sandwiches with a glorious view in front of us.

    After lunch we descended into Harrison Combe, crossing to the summit of Pike O'Stickle, the views here were probably the best of the day.

    After the short scramble down we crossed to the summit of Loft Crag and then down by Dungeon Ghyll back to the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel.

  • The Langdale Pikes

    A wonderful day on The Langdale Pikes today.

    We set off from the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel at 10am and climbed the steep path by Stickle Ghyll, branching off up the zig-zags below Tarn Crag to reach Stickle Tarn in bright sunshine, the views today were spectacular and there were plenty of people heading off up Jack's Rake, but instead we followed the path around Stickle Tarn to the North Rake climbing this steep but easy path to the summit of Pavey Ark.

    From Pavey Ark we traversed to the summit of Harrison Stickle easily finding a good spot to the south of the summit cairn to eat our sandwiches while admiring the glorious view over the Langdale Valley.

    After lunch we descended into Harrison Combe and crossed to the short scramble up onto Pike O'Stickle before descending onto Loft Crag from here we followed the path alongside Dungeon Ghyll descending to Pike How and back down to the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel for a well deserved drink.

  • The Langdale Pikes and Jack's Rake

    A great day climbing The Langdale Pikes by Jack's Rake.

    We set off at 10am and climbed the zig-zags above Stickle Gill to Stickle Tarn and followed the path along the eastern side of the tarn to the foot of Jack's Rake.

    The weather was great, although there  was quite a strong breeze we were well sheltered so we pressed on climbing Jack's Rake with some magnificent views and few difficulties we reached the summit of Pavey Ark in good time, the wind here was pretty strong so we didn't stop for long, descending a little and taking the lower more sheltered path to Harrison Stickle.

    After a short stop on the summit of Harrison Stickle, our highest point of the day, we descended, crossing Harrison Combe and climbing to the summit of Pike O'Stickle. There were magnificent views from here across the Langdale Valley, we descended and found a nice sheltered spot in the sun to eat our sandwiches before crossing to the summit of Loft Crag, where a light shower passed over before we descended to the path alongside Dungeon Ghyll, following this back down to the valley.
