Product Description
Crinkle Crags and Bowfell Guided Walk
Join us for a guided Crinkle Crags and Bowfell walk through some of the Lake District’s finest mountain scenery. Starting from Great Langdale, this route covers around 10 miles and links rocky summits, high tarns and wide views across the fells.
The route
We begin at the car park in Langdale and climb towards Red Tarn. From here, we head up Cold Pike before continuing towards Crinkle Crags.
The route takes us towards the famous Bad Step, a short, steep rocky section. This part of the walk calls for care and may involve using your hands to climb. Your guide will assess the conditions and help the group through the terrain.
We then cross Crinkle Crags and descend to Three Tarns. A further climb leads to Bowfell’s summit, where clear weather brings far-reaching views across the Lake District.
Our descent passes Angle Tarn before heading down Rossett Gill. We then return to the valley to complete the walk.
What to expect
This is a full day in the mountains, with sustained climbs, rough paths and steep descents. Expect loose stones and uneven ground in places, so good balance and sure footing will help.
A good level of fitness and some experience of hill walking are recommended. You should feel comfortable spending several hours on your feet and walking over rocky ground. If you are unsure whether the route is right for you, please contact us before booking.
Conditions can feel very different on the tops compared with the valley. Even on a warm day, wind and rain can make the higher ground cold. Come prepared for changes in the weather.
What to bring
Wear comfortable walking boots with good grip and ankle support. Bring a day rucksack containing:
- A waterproof jacket and waterproof trousers.
- Warm layers, a hat and gloves.
- A packed lunch, snacks and enough drinking water for the day.
- A fully charged mobile phone and a whistle.
- Sun protection for brighter weather.
Please check our recommended kit list before the walk for further guidance.
Meeting and route changes
The exact morning meeting time will be confirmed when you book. The planned route may change due to the weather or ground conditions. Where needed, we will choose a suitable alternative so the group can enjoy a safe and rewarding day on the fells.
