Langdale Pikes

Distance: 7 miles
Time: 5 hours (3:32 moving)
Wainwrights: Sergeant Man, High Raise, Thunacar Knott, Pavey Ark, Harrison Stickle, Pike of Stickle, Loft Crag.

A couple of months ago I persuaded Mandy who I work with to go to the lakes to walk up a fell/hill/mountain whatever you would like to call them. She had been to the lakes but never walked up any of the fells.

I quickly decided to go to the Langdales, its probably my favourite place in the lakes and you can cover several tops in a short distance. So you feel like you've achieved quite a lot.

The weather was quite kind to us, it was overcast with a slight breeze, bit more breeze on the tops but still quite light. The rain just held off, so a fairly perfect day for walking although not for pictures.

The walk was quite easy, the hardest part for me is coming down what is almost a stair case back to the car. My nearly pretty much help out though (didn't take my poles).

We covered 7 Wainwrights, so a few more to mark off my countdown on the right.

There's a few pictures below from the walk.
