Stickle Pike

Walked on 23/03/2005

Start point: Kiln Bank Cross (SD 215 933)

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

Distance: 1 mile     Total Ascent: 153 metres     Time Taken: 50 minutes

Weather: Brighter than this morning, 14oC.

As it was a bit brighter this afternoon, we had another short walk up to Stickle Pike above Broughton Mills. We were joined by Connie after she was sprung from school for Easter at lunchtime – much better than sitting in a classroom I think!

Stickle Pike is described in Wainwright’s Stickle Pike chapter in his book ‘The Outlying Fells of Lakeland’, page 126.

Caw from the ascent of Stickle Pike. This is the fell I have chosen for the Wainwright Society Great Lakeland Challenge in May. Incidentally, Eric Robson, chairman of the Wainwright Society, writer and broadcaster has chosen Stickle Pike.
