Pavey Ark Summit

It's Thursday, Andy n' me have an opportunity to grab some Langdale Pikes. At 0820hrs, the car park is quiet, I have paid for four hours; National Trust members park for free. Not really free when you consider the membership fee and what else you do with your card, but not to worry, you're keeping stuff in good order.
Stickle Gill
It's not complicated, follow the path upwards to the tarn.
Stickle Tarn
Peace and quiet up at the tarn, we head around to make an ascent of Pavey Ark via the north rake.
