Stickle Pike

Walked on 27/08/2009

Start point: Kiln Bank Cross (SD 215 933)

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

Distance: 1 mile     Total Ascent: 105 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Sunny spells. 18C.

It was Connie’s choice for a walk this morning and Stickle Pike was the chosen one. Eager Dougal was keen to get out again, he shows boundless energy but we have to keep it in check for now. We seemed to find the best of the weather too as it turned overcast not long afetr we left. As ever the views from this diminutive fell are simply stunning.
