THE LANGDALE PIKES - Lake District Solo Hike

Welcome back to another Lake District Hike! This week I'm Great Langdale, one of my favourite places in the Lakes. Today I'm doing a short route around the stunning Langdale Pikes!
Here is a link to OS Maps of a very similar route I plotted before doing the walk. Please only use this as a guideline and properly plan your own route :)

Amazing video. I’ve recently just done the langdale pikes and you’re so right that view from the top of pike of Stickle was just breathtaking! Good job +1 sub 👍🏻

Great video Alex. Miss it when we can't get up there ourselves but this gave me a little Lake District fix. Thank you

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Great and very scenic trail in Langdale District. Looks like you had the trail to yourself. Thanks for taking us on this beautiful hike. Have a great day.

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much 😊

Great video. Did this route a couple of weeks ago in the snow and ice! The descent of Pavey Ark is hideous! Remember climbing Mark Gate to Loft Crag thinking I wouldn't like to come down this way!! If only I'd known!! 😂

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you! It’s a great route isn’t it, I can imagine that descent with ice and snow underfoot being horrible 😂

[@petercollins7848]

Fabulous video Alex! I first climbed to Pavey Ark 52 years ago, and did it again in 2022 in memory of a friend who first introduced me to the Lakes all those years ago. The Lake District is magical, and I am hoping to go camping there again this year. Thanks for all the great videos, particularly of the Peak District, my local area.

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Wow that’s brilliant Peter! I bet the Langdale Valley was a little quieter 52 years ago. Brilliant you got back up there in memory of your friend, I always find the mountains a special place for remembering loved ones. Definitely get that camping trip booked 👍👍 thank you for all your support and kind words Peter it really means a lot! 😊

Superb Video Alex! I can absolutely see why you love the Langdales, absolutely beautiful! A nice lot of ascent, well rewarded by those stunning views. Loved watching this tonight, thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this. Top job! 👍 Sounds like the snowfall was epic 😀

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much Greg! Definitely one of my favourite places in the Lakes and highly recommend it when you’re next up there! Really do appreciate your continued support over the past few years, it means a lot!! Cheers 😊

Great vlog Alex, love Langdale Valley and good to see that route done clockwise too, maybe you could wild camp at Stickle Tarn and climb Jacks Rake 🙏🙏

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much! 😊 That sounds like an awesome idea, I’ve got a wild camped planned in the Langdales fairly soon 👍👍

[@reluctantfellrunner]

Plenty of fresh air on that one. Best wishes.

Alex, really enjoyed video, at last the link to OS Maps of your route and future routes I hope, it linked directly to my OS Maps and is a route I looked forward to tackling in the near future. Thank you 😊

[@Muddipaws1308]

Oh my I was in the area at the weekend. I did Lingmoor Fell only a little one but i enjoyed it and looked back to the Langdales.

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Lingmoor is such a nice fell! Great views of the Langdales from there, glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@glennswalks7693]

Hi Alex Beautiful mate, Langdale is one of my old time favourite Lakeland valleys too, thanks for sharing your adventures with us, it’s a 👍❤️from me

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much! 😊 can’t really beat the Langdales can you!

[@Darren_Nicola]

Brilliant again. Well done Alex

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much 😊

[@danielsmith9026]

Smashing video as always! Just wondering, what is the name of the Mountain Equipment jacket you had on whilst filming the outro?

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much! 😊 The jacket I was wearing in the outro is the Mountain Equipment Triton Jacket 👍

[@trytheoutdoors]

Great video. Thank you. I notice you tend to keep your yellow tupilac on throughout your hikes - using your hard outer layer as a windshirt. I guess you just have a base layer (Helly Hansen??) underneath. I note the Tupilac doesnt seem have pit zips. If that's the case, how do you regulate your body temp wearing the tupilac all the time?

[@trytheoutdoors]

Please reply sir to the question...if you can...
