Crinkle crags adventure


On Monday we were up very early. We drove up to Langdale and parked next to the Old Dungeon gill hotel. We were huffing at the cold as we got our boots and coats on before setting off up the valley.
The valley was full of frost, and frost covered sheep, lovely Herdwicks. All fluffy and smiley.
The yomp up the valley side really got us warmed up. The sun was spilling into the valley bowl and casting its sunbeams through the crags and into the dale below.
Once onto the ridge we enjoyed a very sunny day, walking amongst the crags and looking back down into the green pastures below ,across to scafell and all the way back to Morcambe bay ashimmer golden perhaps thirty miles away.
