Nestled below the great craggy ramparts of Pavey Ark and Harrison Stickle, Stickle Tarn is surely one of the Lake District's most dramatically situated and beautiful tarns. Pavey Ark's great cliff towers over the water, home to Jack's Rake, a superb grade one scramble. Whether peak bagging, scrambling or wild swimming, Stickle Tarn is a place you won't soon forget.

My day was filled with all weathers possible, so I'll say as with any other hike to be prepared with Rain, Wind, Mist, etc.. but definitely an amazing place :-)
