What a fantastic day climbing Pavey Ark, taking in Jack’s Rake as well. A true Lakeland classic. It’s a grade 1 scramble with a decent bit of exposure in Great Langdale.

The was wet today, but that didn’t dampen the views for once, and gave the lakes some much needed rain.

Day 3 of the Hybrid Gold Assessment for St John’s, with Sam Sykes Expeditions.

The group for the last 2 days have gone on their walking element of the expedition, so now it’s a new group. And straight away, it’s a different experience 🛶

Instead of wind, we’ve had extreme heat to cope with. The groups have been amazing with open water crossings, fantastic team work and paddling skills.

Final day tomorrow back up Ullswater.

What a wonderful experience 🛶

This fantastic group now move to their walking section of the expedition and a new group starts their paddling journey.
