It has been a fantastic week of weather and tonight may be the last clear night for a while. DW proposes a wild camp / Bivvi at Stickle Tarn. We head up from the ODG at around 5pm, arrive at the tarn and dump our sacks. Then head for an ascent of Jacks Rack. Really enjoyable and good to be moving on this type of ground. At the summit we catch the last few rays of sunshine then head down to set up camp. We find our spot above the tarn with a view down the Langdale valley.
After food etc we are early to bed. There is no moon to start with and the stars look amazing.
When morning comes the sky is clear. We breakfast and await the sunrise.
Pavey Ark looks maginificent.
Reflection on Stickle Tarn.
We take our time to enjoy the morning before packing up and heading down. The valley is still misty.
A really fantastic experience that I hope to repeat over the coming months.
