The Langdale Pike and Pavey Ark Walk



On Wednesday, August the 26th , my wife , d two daughters and I set out on our first trek at lake district. Our challenge was Gretel Landell walk. This trip takes you to several mountain peaks. Pave Arc, Harrison Stickle, Thorn Craig and Pickle of Stickle. Also, when you go to the part called Pave Arc, there is a very beautiful natural lake at the top.





These mountains are not so high. The Landell pike is about 736 meters (2415 feet). It takes about five or six hours to pass the Pave Arc, Harrison Stickle and descend to the valley below. The total distance is 12 km. At these twelve meters, there are several very steep slopes of about 150 meters. These are a little hard to climb. 



Throughout this journey a you can see a beautiful stream flows down. You have to cross it in one place jumping  over big rocks. There is a place where the water falls hard. If the foot slips,you  will fell down to the stream.




The lovely stream starts from the lake above. It took us almost six and a half hours because I was climbing down  little slower. But from the top of the mountain, you can see the beautiful valley below.
