Stickle Pike

Walked on 21/02/2007

 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: Wet and gloomy. 8°C.

It is the school half-term this week so Connie and I took the dogs up to Stickle Pike, a walk we have often done of course, and one we decided to continue with despite the poor weather around here today. If you are unfamiliar with Stickle Pike, it is a great little fell with a wonderful view (on a clear day!) and a tarn nestling below the summit. Today, however, we could see nothing…

Virtually the only 'view' of the day to the Duddon Valley from Kiln Bank Cross.

Incidentally, the new Duddon and Furness Mountain Rescue Team brochure uses this photo of Stickle Pike on the front cover, one that I took from Harter Fell in the snow last year.
