Stickle Pike

Walked on 18/08/2006

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: 1 hour

Weather: Overcast with rain later. 17oC.

We had an exploration of that old favourite Stickle Pike today, keeping off the paths and looking at things from a different perspective. It was very still and peaceful and a rather enjoyable saunter – we struck lucky with the weather too as just made it back as the rain started to come down heavily.

Stickle Pike summit - the rain is coming in from the north now. It doesn't often happen, but here is some rare, if rather grainy, footage that we managed to capture this morning - Casper Speaks!
