What3Words: ///fields.decorated.wisely There are so many delights on this Lake District Guided Walk of the Langdale Pikes, that it is hard to describe them all. Great Langdale does such a fantastic job of summarising the Lake District; great tarns, huge crags, great peaks, stunning views, waterfalls and becks- there really is no better place to visit. It is a fantastic day out for anyone wanting a truly wild time. Our guided walk of the Langdale Pikes begins at the foot of Stickle Ghyll, a beautiful body of water, flowing into Great Langdale Beck. We make our way to Stickle Tarn and the huge rock wall of Pavey Ark. Harrison Stickle and Pike of Stickle are next, standing high above the valley floor. We take in Loft Crag before our descent back down into the valley. “No mountain profile in Lakeland arrests and excites the attention more than that of the Langdale Pikes and no mountain group better illustrates the dramatic appeal of a sudden rising of the vertical from the horizontal; the full height from valley to summit is revealed at a glance in one abrupt upsurge to all travelers on the distant shore of Windermere and, more intimately, on the beautiful approach along Great Langdale.” “Pavey Ark is Langdale’s biggest cliff. In an area where crag and precipices abound, here is the giant of them all, and, scenically, it is the best.” – Alfred Wainwright WHAT TO BRING - Walking boots (waterproof recommended) - Clothing suitable for walking (no jeans) - Rucksack (waterproof liner recommended) - Waterproof jacket and trousers - Warm layer, hat and gloves - Sun hat, sun glasses and sun cream - Water bottle (minimum 1 litre) - Packed lunch - Head torch (charged) - Any personal medication including Epipens This list is mandatory year round.
