The Crinkle Crags

The undulating ridge of the Crinkle Crags is seen from Pike O' Blisco. This is a fabulous ridge and is always a joy including on this walk in 2012 despite the cold. I have been over this ridge six times (it is sad that I know how many) and all except this time I included Bow Fell, the peak hiding far right, in the traverse. Wainwright described the ridge between Crinkle Crags and Bow Fell as "Positively one of the finest ridgewalks in Lakeland". But not on this walk when the Crinkle Crags was enough for me.

The Newlands Valley from Dale Head

The Newlands Valley with Skiddaw on the horizon is seen from the summit of Dale Head during a walk with tremendous weather in 2018. There is a great walk around the Newlands Valley that climbs the ridge to the left over Hindscarth, circles round over Dale Head and then descends over the ridge to the right over High Spy. This is a great ridge walk, but I have never done it.
