Stickle Tarn and Pavey Ark - BW Phone Case

Originally captured on film in the winter of 1984, this is an image of Stickle Tarn with Pavey Ark beyond. The tarn, a lake that resides in a hanging valley above the Langdale Valley, is perhaps one of the most visited mountain tarns in the Lake District National Park, in England. The tarn is about 300–350 metres above the valley. The well-worn path leading up to the tarn follows Mill Ghyll, the tumbling stream that is the outflow from the tarn. The more intrepid hikers will then go around the tarn and ascend Pavey Ark, the mountainous cliff across from the tarn, which is about another 200 metres of ascent, and then on to Harrison Stickle which is off to the left. When done, a pint at one of the three pubs in the valley would be the reward.
