Crinkle Crags and Bowfell

[siabod]

Crinkle Crags and Bowfell - a hazy .... lazy day! .... Including 11 Nuttalls + 3 Wainwrights etc

Camping at 'Stalag' Langdale NT campsite - too busy, expensive and noisy for me but handy for hills

The 'Bad' Step

Over towards Bowfell and Three Tarns

Bowfell from Shelter Crags

Traverse over from Three Tarns to the climbers path

Climbers Path to the bottom of The Great Slab

And the spring - a good place for a drink

The Spring at the bottom of the boulder gully to The Great Slab - very tasty !!!!!!!

Keep to the right on the Great Slab - no people here

On The Great Slab - keeping to the right .....it was greasy

Looking back down the Slab

Hi Siabod, interesting route up.
How easy is the Great Slab? It looks pretty steep and I guess it would be tricky when wet.

I guess you could almost walk up it if dry - easy escape on right if wet or icy

Interesting route siabod. Was up the Great Slab earlier this year, nice and dry and very easy to walk up.

My favorite is Bow fell yet never had a clear day. Taking some mates next week so here's hoping

Hope you have a good day "Luvhiking" and weather is ok. Took me 5 times of trying to get up Bowfell and actually see where I was going and that was about 45 years ago
Now I have to be content with admiring it and Crinkle Crags from the Blea Tarn Pass

Might be worth checking out Bayesbrown Farm instead. A mile or two down the road from the NT site but pitch where you want (we were in a group of 5 with 3 tents and had plenty of space) and the facilities were basic but clean.
