Event Description
Bowfell is the sixth highest mountain in the Lake District and one of the most popular with spectacular panoramic vistas of Langdale and the Scafell range. Combined with Crinkle Crags, this epic high-level walk across the rocky summits makes for one of the very best mountain adventures in Lakeland.
Dramatic, beautiful and exhilarating are just a few words to describe this walk. From Langdale the route takes you through spectacular valleys, high into the mountains, across rocky tops including the famous ‘5 crinkles’ before the climb up to Bowfell. This is certainly a fun and adventurous day which feels more like a mini-mountaineering adventure high on the rocky Lakeland summits. Wainwright said “other mountains are climbed and forgotten but Crinkle Crags will always be remembered”. I think that says it all.

Where does it start?
The walk will start in the Langdale Valley at Stickle Barn (National Trust carpark). This is around 10-15 mins drive from Ambleside.
Is it for me?
This is a big day in the mountains so you will need to have a good level of hillwalking fitness to complete the 8-9 miles and over 1000m of ascent. The terrain is very rocky throughout the day and will involve walking over boulders.
