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: Wind and hail. 6oC.
It has put a lot of rain and hail down through the night and this morning, so today’s walk was a bit of a ‘smash and grab’ opportunity between heavy hail showers and strong winds, mainly to give Angus and Casper a bit of fresh air and exercise. We almost made it unscathed but got caught in a heavy hailstorm towards the end which left us sodden.

Looks a bit chilly over the windswept Stickle Tarn and I can confirm the wind was indeed cold. Brrr!
