Today I had the joy of 1:1 guiding Hermoine on a trundle around the Langdale Pikes from the Old Dungeon Ghyll.
We were soon atop Pike O Stickle after having done Loft Crag first and I just asked if she happened to be bagging Wainwrights. She wasnt, but she wasn't adverse the idea of ever doing it, and so it was time to maximise our time up on the hill and grab ourselves a nice convenient collection.
We next ticked Harrison Stickle followed by the easily bagged Thunacar Knott. We then ventured on out to High Raise, which is pretty much the centre of the Lake District. Now doubling back we went onto Sergeant Man and finished up on Pavey Ark. We hauled a total of 7 Wainwrights, not a bad start should she decide to take on getting all 214!
The Langdale Pikes guided walk sounds like a fantastic adventure for anyone who loves the outdoors. The combination of fresh air, stunning views, and good company is unbeatable. For those rainy days when the fells are too slippery or you just need a rest day, I found that having a backup plan like an online sword-fighting classic is a great way to keep the competitive spirit alive indoors. It’s a nice way to cap off a long day of hiking before heading out for dinner.
