One of the (many) things I wanted to do when I was in the UK was climb up Jack's Rake with H. H is a bit of a thrill seeker and I was sure he would enjoy it.
Jack's Rake is a scramble / very low grade rock climb up the face of a 'cliff' to the summit of Pavey Ark. The cliff is about 400 ft heigh, and rises up from Stickle Tarn.
It's a great place. If you want to have a look at the cliff face, there is a picture here. I did not take huge numbers of pictures as I was concentrating on having a good time, rather than on other things (not that the 'other things' are not good I hasten to add!).
These pictures are just grabs from Go-Pro video, but they do give you a good idea of what it was like.
You can find more pictures from around the world - and possibly less vertigo - here at Our World Tuesday.
I hope any of you that have been knocked about by Irma are OK - and that you and yours are safe. SM

ReplyDelete..and a dry day too - takes some beating! YAM xx
What a beautiful area. I have only cycled through the Lake District and never stopped which is a bit sad as the chances of returning are pretty much nil. Looks like you had a good day. Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun climb!
ReplyDeleteI think I would give it a try if I were there, but the climbers behind me might have to resign themselves to ascending a little slower than they might have liked!
ReplyDeleteHello, that looks like a hard climb. But, the views are beautiful. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteWonderful views!
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous, what a view, although I did come over to see what Melbourne is up to!! I love that you can get such great pics from the GoPro and that way you can concentrate on not falling off!
ReplyDeleteWonderful view in the third photo!
ReplyDeleteWOW what a view.
ReplyDeleteWell I know you crammed a lot into you trip back to the UK, but I didn't see that comming in a million years. The number of times i've climbed that and taken people up it you wouldn't believe, even my Collie Bob did it as well as Cust's gully on Great End.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories, all the nest Gordon.
What an exciting climb! Great Go_Pro photos too.

ReplyDeleteWow! What a great climb and wonderful father-son activity as well. Thank you for the Irma wishes -- we are safe in Oregon all the way across the country and our Florida winter home and neighborhood survived without us, even though it is in Fort Myers many parts of which were badly damaged.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a nice adventure. Pretty rough country, and beautiful.
