Does seem to exists, per google. This article was started by 58.164.25.116 (talk | contribs) who seems to be User:Haruson's sock puppet, see his edit history. So it seems to be an article about a real fell that happens to have a name that was suitable for the Prince Haruson hoax. Weregerbil 20:13, 20 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Stickle? edit

What's a stickle? it's in a few names in this area. --AW 16:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

A stickle is a hill with a prominent rocky sort of top. There are, as you note, several in the Lake District. Don't know if they occur elsewhere in Britain or Ireland, but can't think of any off the top of my head. Pike of Stickle is your classic example, 'pike' being a pointy-topped hill and the whole thing therefore bordering on tautology. Bobble Hat 19:17, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I'm going to add that meaning to the various stickle articles then --AW 19:23, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
