Cold Pike

Walked on 25/01/2006

Start point: Three Shire Stone (NY 277 027)

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

Distance: 4 miles     Total Ascent: 600 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours

Weather: Cold and clear. 2oC.

After the poor weather recently, it was nice to get a clear day and blue skies again for a walk up to Cold Pike and Pike o’ Blisco, starting from the Three Shire Stone. The wind on the summit of Cold Pike was incredibly biting, but once out of the wind and back into the sunshine it soon warmed up nicely – a lovely day for a great walk.

Cold Pike lives up to its name - there was a cold, biting wind on this summit.
