Route Map

Weather: Warmer than of late with the tops in and out of mist all day.

A return visit to old favourites The Langdale Pikes today - it's a little while since I've done them so this round made a nice change today. With it being Easter soon, this area becomes very busy so I thought I'd better get out while the place was virtually deserted...
