Langdale Pikes - October 2009
7 miles 2,500 ft of ascent
4hrs 45 mins
| We parked in the National Trust car park at the Old
Dungeon Ghyll and contoured around towards New Dundgeon Ghyll. From
here we headed up the beck and within an hour and a half were at
Stickle Tarn. Going around the tarn we headed up again behind Pavey
Ark, and cut across reasonably flat but boggy land between Thunacar
Knott and Harrison's Stickle. We reached a small tarn at Stake Pass
and had lunch, before heading back down Stake Gill to the Old Dundgeon
Gill. |
