Stickle Tarn Loop

Starting at the National Trust Stickle Ghyll car park (or utilizing the free on road parking) make your way up the well maintained steps and path taking in Stickle Ghyll. The first half an hour of this walk is the steepest, with an early (easy) river crossing before being presented with the awesome Stickle Tarn at the top. You can loop around the tarn and then head back the way you came for a shorter, hike. If you wish to extend the trip, I've added a couple of options below. 

Upon reaching Stickle Tarn, circle the tarn anti-clockwise, heading up the back of Pavey Ark for some fun basic scrambling. Once up top, it's a steady ascent over to Harrison Stickle, and another peak in Pike of Stickle.

Or from Pavey Ark, head north to the top of High Raise, the tallest Wainwright in the Central Langdales. It can be windy up here, but there are some sunken walls at the top where you can tuck in and have a picnic if the weather permits.
