Thursday 23rd November 2006

Start point: Kiln Bank Cross (SD 215 933)

Kiln Bank Cross - Stickle Tarn - Stickle Pike (OF) - Kiln Bank Cross

Distance: 1 mile    Total Ascent: 225 metres     Time Taken: 30 minutes

Weather: Overcast with brief sunny spells, wind and rain. 11oC.

The wind was blowing strongly this lunchtime and the weather was changing quickly throughout the walk up to Stickle Pike -  a constant rain, sun, dull cycle. That didn't stop Angus and Casper having a good run and a swim though...

Looking to Harter Fell across the Duddon Valley with golden sunshine, dramatic sky and a rainbow!

Fleetingly, the surroundings of Stickle Tarn are golden.

Even Harter Fell caught some sunshine.

Caw in the sun this time - that looks like someone on the summit too.
