returning to Ambleside by Nook End. Lakes and Tarns to the number
of ten, may be enumerated in this excursion; viz. Ullswater,
Windermere, Esthwaite, Coniston, Grasmere, and Rydal lakes; and
Elterwater, Blelham, Easdale, and Grisedale tarns: oftener than
once, may eight of them be reckoned from one station. Here is
likewise a good view of the different creeks and inlets of the
sea towards Lancaster and Ulverston.

LANGDALE PIKES,[1]

altitude

Called Pike of Stickle, and Harrison Stickle, are by their
peculiar form distinguished at a great distance. They afford some
good views to the south east: but being encompassed on other
sides by higher mountains, the prospect is somewhat limited.
Harrison Stickle, the higher, is 2400 feet above the level of the
sea: it is more easily ascended, and has the better prospect
towards Rydal and Ambleside; but the Pike of Stickle has the
advantage of catching, through an opening in the hills, a view of
the lake of Bassenthwaite, and the mountain Skiddaw - from both
of which Harrison Stickle is excluded by the interposition of
higher lands.

Wasdale Head, by some called the Pikes of Scawfell.
