So went down to the Lakes for the weekend on the promise of significantly better weather than in Scotland. We weren't disappointed! Didn't leave until lazy time on Saturday morning, so didn't get camped up and settled until the afternoon, by which time, there was just time for a short walk really - so headed up the nearby Lingmoor Fell - Lots of undulations for this one, and a bit under side pike that involves a narrow ledge with a squeeze behind a giant flake
Dark for the descent, so just followed the road to save us breaking any more ankles

First Pike Howe - Just as a bit of fun to get us up a bit higher without a slog

We decided to take the route up the SW face - it looked the easiest to get to and longest of the routes described in our book.. First wall looked intimidating but was easy really After that it was a fun, easy romp right to the summit.

Shame I seem to of forgotten to take any photos.. Good weekend anyway - Brilliant
