Lake District weekend away at Rydal hall
24th January 2010
Sunday's longer walk, up the Langdale Pikes and High Raise
Great Langdale, from part-way up the ascent
We're above the snowline now
Thorn Crag col...
...below Harrison Stickle
Vince's pretending he's not feeling the cold
Looking up at Harrison Stickle
A view from near the top; serious snow conditions at this height
Trying to walk on the snow crust without falling through
Intrepid walkers (thinking about going up Pike o' Stickle)
Not so intrepid walkers (sensibly not trying a difficult scramble up an icy crag)
Setting off again onto the plateau
Massive wintry landscape
Stickle Tarn completely frozen over
Pavey Ark

Cath wondering how to get across the stream
Mel shows how it's done
