Crinkle Crags from the Old Dungeon Ghyll 9 miles 3000ft


Leaving the Old Dungeon Ghyll with Crinkle Crags somewhere ahead shrouded in cloud!

Looking across from Brown Howe to the falls in Hell Gill -
our route of descent later 

The five Crinkles begin to emerge from the cloud

Danny admires the view down the Langdale valley
from Great Knott...

 ... before arriving atop the first Crinkle

The summit of the second and highest crinkle 859m (2818ft)

Looking back at the first crinkle now free of cloud 

Bow fell 902m beginning to catch the sunshine

Exhilarating views in the gaps between crinkles....

 ....including Scafel, Scafel Pike and Ill Crag

Danny starts his second lunch of the day on the fifth crinkle
before the descent

The start of Hell Gill with Pike o' Blisco on the horizon

Whorneyside falls emerging from Hell Gill

A final look back at Crinkles or should that be 'a Crinkly'?
