Sun 20 Feb 2011 - Crinkle Crags and Pike of Blisco

Starting point – At the bottom of the drive to the Old Dungeon Gill pub (will try to park in a lay-by near by as it is £5 to park there I think).
Start time – 10:00am
Route description – Walk through Middle Fell Farm, then a steady assent up the band to reach crinkle crags, descend via the ‘notorious bad step’ which requires sure footing and use of hands, however it is not a graded scramble.  People unsure of this on the day can be directed on an alternative route round the side. From this we pass great knott and red tarn before ascending Pike of Blisco. We then descend via Wrynose fell and Redacre gill. Finally a short walk along the road and back to the pub for a well earned refreshment (not a cafĂ© in sight!)
Length – Approximately 9 miles
Grade – 3
Time – Roughly 5 hours
Leader - Clare A 07729021534
