Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel in the spotlight

A day on the Langdale Pikes - Photo 1 On our last day in Langdale we decided to revist all the Langdale Pikes. The weather was intermittent cloud and sunlit patches and very windy on the tops and ridges. This photo shows the start of our route up the little scree slope behind the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel (wonderful Jennings bitter!). Great Langdale is illuminated by a rapidly moving patch of sunlight - a feature that was to characterise the entire day. Across the valley are Lingmoor Fell and Side Pike. Note the helicopter at (0.7, 0.3). It was being used to transport sacks of stone up on to the fells for use in footpath repair.
