When I started climbing, Langdale was the nearest Lake District valley to home. The M6 ended near Carnforth, but the roads were quieter, and on one occasion, one of my mates drove us from Garstang to Langdale in under an hour.
At Elterwater, the familiar skyline of the Langdale Pikes would come into view, still one of my favourite views many years later. It was like a second home.
If you like any of the images, feel free to share or use – just give me a mention, that would be cool.
