Route Map

of the walk, 13oC.
We had a walk around the Dunnerdale Fells
starting from Stonestar on the Duddon Valley road this warm afternoon.
This is a lovely and quiet area - hard to find on a Good Friday
afternoon I think! It also took in Stickle Pike and Stickle Tarn, the
area we walked on Wednesday from the Lickle Valley side.
The walk was a hybrid of two Wainwright
Outlying Fell walks. Stickle Pike is described in Wainwright's
Stickle Pike chapter in his book 'The Outlying Fells of
Lakeland', page 126 and The Dunnerdale Fells are described in the
Dunnerdale Fells chapter on page 132.
