Here are brief details of holidays or walks that I have recently completed around the Lake District; more
will be progressively added.
Oct/Nov 2004 - based at Troutbeck near Ambleside
For this holiday we were accommodated at Knotts Farm (a Heart of the Lakes property) with a Grimsby Fellowship
Church walking group consisting of John, Hilary, Margaret, Steve, Nicky, Joy, Kevin and myself.
One of my favoured walks, the Langdale Pikes consisting of Pavey Ark, Harrison Stickle and Stickle Pike
and the yet to be climbed Loft Crag. Can there be a better combination? Which route did we take? The west side of Stickle
Ghyll from the car park a hundred or so yards past the New Hotel. We crossed the Ghyll via stepping stones at the shallow
outfall of the tarn and used the North Rake. If you’re climbing all four Pikes and if you walk like me you will need
6 hours on your parking ticket! On this walk were John, Steve, Nicky and myself.

the list for Sep 2005
