We heard shouts from the direction of Gimmer as we strolled down Mickleden in the gathering gloom, and were comforted in the knowledge that they were emanating from a shepherd who had been active earlier in the bowl above the Stickle Stone Shoot. He would certainly have been in a position to raise the alarm if necessary. We just saw two ladies who were definitely not climbers (they explained that their map reading skills ended at the top of Stake Pass!).<br />Alan, Jack's Rake would have been fine if we had been doing the GB Ridge Walk No 13 in purist fashion, but our longer day meant that the slow and careful ascent of the Rake was best avoided via the quicker east ridge. The Rake would have been well sheltered from any wind, and others were managing fine on it.<br />Gimmer Crag was another matter!Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-68982245163220930662010-11-25T08:21:41.854+00:002010-11-25T08:21:41.854+00:00Hi Martin,
Looks like you had a nice day for that ...Hi Martin,<br />Looks like you had a nice day for that classic walk. You have to pick the right day for Jacks Rake and some people find it hard to change the decision at the point of ascent.<br />We are here to do it and we will!AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-27776681774961865622010-11-25T00:03:24.242+00:002010-11-25T00:03:24.242+00:00Looks like another cracking day.
