This is the view from the top of Crinkle Crags in the Lake District, which must be one of the best in the Lakeland Fells. It is comprised of five peaks or crinkles, but it is the climb up to the highest from the south that is the most memorable. A ten foot climb up a near vertical rock wall is known as 'The Bad Step' and has been described as "the most difficult obstacle met on any of the regular walkers' paths in Lakeland". Despite that, every time I have been up the Crinkle Crags I have tackled the Bad Step, except when I took this picture in 2012. There is a bypassing path and I wanted to see what I was missing out on, and it's not bad, but nowhere near as thrilling as the Bad Step.
