Wednesday 24th Dec, Langdale Pikes

Todays guided walk was in the Langdale valley. Our route took us up to Stickle Tarn which had some fantastic reflection in the still water. Before walking round the tarn for the final ascent up to the summit of Pavey Ark. After a short break to enjoy the views we headed over to visit Thunacar Knott ( a Wainwright top) before heading back to Harrison Stickle. The fells were very quite today and it was good for our group to enjoy the tops to themselves.

Our next top was Pike of Stickle and the easy scramble to its top, before we got there we spent time looking down the valley towards the site of the old stone age axe factory.

After another short break we headed towards our final to of the day Loft Crag before begining our long descent into the valley where we had left the cars. The Wainwright baggers in the group managed to tick off 5 hills on our walk today, only another 209 to go!
