CRINKLE CRAGS HIKE

Second day and we drove over to the Langdales area, parked at Dungeon Ghyll Hotel and hiked Crinkle Crags. Another 9 mile or so hike which took longer than yesterday not helped by Roy's map reading, we missed a path and had to plow our way up the side of a tough hillside to get to the junction to begin the trail over the five peaks of Crinkle Crags.
It was a hot day but made bearable with a lovely breeze up top.
A tough hike but at least the trail down past Red tarn was easy as paved with huge stones most of the way instead of rough loose stones.

Ended our hard work with a pint of cider for me and shandy for Roy - bliss!
