to Part I
Wall End Farm, Oxendale
and our major objective the Crinkles with cloud not yet cleared.
At the start of our ascent
of Pike o' Blisco. Redacre Gill, Mickleden and Langdale Pikes.
Our relative progress through the day would be measured by reference
to the Pikes.
We're gaining height, but
we're not there yet! Whew! It's steep! Mark is way ahead (the
dark dot by the bracken!)
That's Side Pike down there
with the pass from Langdale to Blea Tarn and Little Langdale.
We must be near the top ...
There we are. The Crinkles
and Bow Fell, with Great Knott just in front.
And from the Red Tarn gap
we can see the Pikes at our level or lower beyond the end of The
Band.
So that's where we've come!
Pike o' Blisco the conical peak in the middle distance.
From the top of the first
Crinkle, The Langdale Pikes are well above The Band but well below
us. Look how the haze in the distance blanks out the other fells!
Our first view of the Scafells
across Upper Eskdale.
Mark quizzically waiting
for yet another 'photy stop'! Well above the Pikes, now!
The last backward look.
Pike o' Blisco is still the conical one in the middle.
Mark atop the 'bad step'.
There was a time ...
Bow Fell, our final peak
with the Great End fells beyond.
