We had a weekend break staying at a lodge on Windemere with Erica , Damien, Maddie, Sebastian, Ben , Rowan and Anne. On the Sunday Ben , Rowan and myself did this walk.
The start point was the NT car park at Great Langdale
From the car park we picked up the Cumbrian Way along the excellent Mickleden valley and then up to Stake pass.At the top of the pass (just before the cairn) we took the path along Martcrag Moor to the Langdale Pikes. Once reaching the pike it was a short scramble to get to the top. The first time I had been here I wasn't sure about the scramble and never got to the top, so it was great to finally bag this one. The return route was the steep descent via Mark Gate.

A brilliant walk to one of the Lake's iconic fells.
