So magnificently independent, so ruggedly individual.
The smallest of the Wainwrights but offers some of the best views in the Lake District .

@EfisioCrossWinter Coat in the Langdale’sGareth Richardson2024-03-06 | There’s no better place at this time of year with frosty mornings, snow capped tops and running water through the valley’s. It’s such a tranquil area in the Langdale’s
With Spring around the corner let’s hope it lasts a little longer for a wild camp in the fells fingers crossed .

Another wild camp in the bag and I also bagged 2 more Wainwrights in Birks which is on the way to the summit of St Sunday Crag . With great views looking down to Ullswater you also get views looking west towards Scafell Pike ,Great Gable etc and you also sit opposite Striding edge and Helvellyn .
#lakedistrictnationalpark #getoutmore #inspirethenextgeneration #getoutmore #stsundaycrag #wildcamping #Lake District - Stridding EdgeGareth Richardson2023-06-16 | Remind me not to wear Green
Got up early for this one to catch the sunrise looking over Ullswater .
Setting off from Glenriding making my way to Birkhouse Moor it’s a great viewing spot to watch the sunrise. There was a couple of tents up with people watching the sun rise from behind the far fells so I headed straight to Striding edge .
I’ve been here before so I’m familiar with this route so it wasn't long before I was at the foot of Striding edge, looking back you can catch great views of Ullswater as the Sun was already up reflecting off the water makes a great photograph .
Onto the task ahead with me been here before my anxiety wasn't as bad this time around .
With over 6 months in the planning we finally got our chance to have our first wild camp , waiting for the tent and other things got in the way and a welcomed break in the weather it was on .
Having already chose our destination well in advance driving over the A66 I received a notification (amber alert for the aroura) and our plan had changed , we did some quick research for a possible chance of a sight at what I’ve dreamed of seeing .
Hallin Fell was our new destination with only summited the fell a couple of weeks previous with the kids we had familiarised ourselves with the route we’d take .
The weather was perfect so I located a pitch right below the summit cairn having settled the night was set only to watch the clouds roll in having that we settled down what was a great night for a wild camp no wind and no rain .
On waking the following morning I noticed we’d woken up in the clouds of a temperature inversion (wish we’d camped a couple hundred meters higher) so sent the drone through the clouds to catch some footage of the clear skies above, the views above did not disappoint so I included the footage in the video .

What a slog it was !! I parked in the Sticklebarn car park and made way towards Stool End Farm with the Crinkles in my view I started to plan my accent with my heavy pack I knew it wasn’t going to be easy so I decided to hike towards Whorneyside Force (if only I knew ) .
Make my way along side Oxendale Beck I’ve been to Whorneyside Force before but never past that and after that really took its toll on my legs it was a really steep accent after the waterfall wish I choose The Band route towards Bowfell .
Once I got to the top things levelled out and I could see where I was wanting to camp with the Scafell views in my mind it gave me the strength to give it that finally push and before I knew it I made it to my location .
With the sun on my face erecting the tent was easy and so I settled down to capture the whole experience . Followed by a perfect sunset and a stunning sun rise I could ask for nothing more .
I started out taking photo's of my progress and with plenty of time to think I've decided to have a different outlook on how to record my journey . So to my dismay I will have to go back and record the previous 58 Wainwrights already summited (let's face it, its another reason to go back) .

Natural Features
Some mountains are obviously named by reference to their physical characteristics. Crinkle Crags is one of these, and it was probably first so called by the dalesfolk of the valleys to the east and around the head of Windermere, whence its lofty serrated ridge, a succession of knobs and depressions, is aptly described by the name. These undulations, seeming trivial from a distance, are revealed at close range as steep buttresses and quilies above wild declivities, a scene of desolation and rugged grandeur equalled by few others in the district. Nor is the Eskdale flank any gentler, for here too are gaunt shattered crags rising from incredibly rough slopes. The high pass of Three Tarns links the ridge with Bowfell to the north while southwards Wrynose Bottom is the boundary. Crinkle Crags is much too good to be missed: For the mountaineer who prefers his mountains rough, who likes to see steep craggy slopes towering before him into the sky, who enjoys an up-and-down ridge walk full of interesting nooks and corners, who has an appreciative eye for magnificent views, this is a climb deserving of high priority. But it is not a place to visit in bad weather for the top is confusing, with ins and outs as well as ups and downs and a sketchy path that cannot be relied on. Crinkle Crags merits respect, and should be treated with respect; then it will yield the climber a mountain walk long to be remembered with pleasure.

The trail is only short but straight away steep from the off ,if your in a rush for a quick camp this is a great fell with epic views then Raven Crag is a great choice .
The summit has a viewing platform which gives you great views of Thirlmere and is a great choice for sunrise or sunset.
Hope you enjoy the video - Gareth
#lakedistrictnationalpark #wildcamping #getoutmore #ravenscrag #inspirethenextgenerationGreat Gable wild campGareth Richardson2023-02-04 | Great Gable wild camp in my Hilleberg Soulo
Only my second wild camp and I’m still finding my feet to my new addiction, who knows where this will take me so here it is .
Set off from Seathwaite farm headed up Taylor Gill Force straight onto Styhead Tarn, from there I found my self around 600/650 meters on Great Gable chasing the time for a perfect sunset and that’s where I had to pitch (Sod it that will do 😜)
I didn’nt get much sleep to the It was windy through the night around 30mph winds so my confidence in the Hilleberg Soulo was appreciated.
5.2 mile in distance , 650 meters accent
Hope you enjoy - Gareth
#lakedistrictnationalpark #greatgable #wildcamping #getoutmore #inspirethenextgenerationExplore the Langdale Pike’sGareth Richardson2022-11-22 | Made up of four summits, the Langdale Pikes are one of the Lake Districts more challenging walks.
Sitting on the outskirts of the Langdale Valley, the Langdale Pikes offer mind blowing views of the National park
Lesser-known than the likes of Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, the Langdale Pikes are one of the Lake Districts best kept secrets.
The Langdale Pikes are situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park, a short drive to Dungeons Ghyll from the towns of Ambleside and Grasmere.
