Walked on a really sunny day. Met Steve Wood at NT Langdale car park. Walked up Mark Gate to Loft Crag then to Pike of Stickle, over Harrison Combe to Thunacar Knott to Harrison Stickle, then over to Pavey Ark (which has Jacks Rake on it). Then finished off on Blea Rigg. Back down past waterfalls to NT car park. Long day so didnt even have a pint! Great fun though. | River-Girl | 20/05/2023 |
