Langdale Pikes

Visiting the Langdale Pikes again. Starting from Stickle Barn, via Stickle Tarn to Sergeant Man, then High Raise, back to Thunacar Knott and finally Pike Of Stickle and Harrison Stickle. Then back down via Loft Crag. Our new hiking poles were very much appreciated going both up and down.

The day was very grey and overcast but at least it was dry.
