Back on the Tops - Langdale, Cumbria

Yesterday, I went out with my old Walking Club, and since I hadn't done any serious walking for some time, was surprised that I made it to the top of Harrison Stickle. The fell is approximately 2,500 feet and the tarn is, I think, at about 1,500 ft. Although not a great height, it was a steep climb both to the tarn and beyond.

Looking down on the tarn.( It wasn't a very clear day but the view wasn't obliterated.)

Start of the Walk - My son shouting, " Put that camera away!'

We went round the other side of the mountain and had to walk on the scary path by Dungeon Ghyll. One slip and I would have been gone forever but I was more concerned for my son's safety. The art of mindfullness - it put the concentration in every single step. A steep slope to the left of us and nothing on the right. This is what Wordsworth had to say about it:

"Cross, if you dare, where I shall cross--
Come on, and tread where I shall tread."
The other took him at his word,
And followed as he led.
It was a spot which you may see
If ever you to Langdale go;
Into a chasm a mighty block
Hath fallen, and made a bridge of rock:
The gulf is deep below;
And, in a basin black and small,
Receives a lofty waterfall.
