Cold Pike

Walked on 04/07/2006

Start point: Three Shire Stone (NY 277 027)

Three Shire Stone – Rough Crags – Cold Pike – Red Tarn – Pike O’ Blisco – Black Crag – Three Shire Stone

Distance: 3.5 miles     Total Ascent: 500 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours

Weather: Sunny and warm becoming overcast. 23oC.

Nice to see it was still warm today and the blue skies have returned – at least for a short while as it became increasingly overcast towards the end of the walk. It’s a lovely shorter walk this one with some relatively easy height gain, starting from the top of Wrynose Pass.

Well, I did say semi-retirement. How could I deny Angus a swim and a view like this?

Warm on the descent of Cold Pike - we are following the path to the right, not up to Crinkle Crags today.
