Route description: NT Stickle Barn car park-Wall End Farm-Pike o'Blisco-Red Tarn-Cold Pike-Crinkle Crags-Three Tarns-Bowfell-Three Tarns-The Band-Stool End Farm-NT Stickle Barn car park

A walk in Great Langdale in the Lake District. I parked in the NT Stickle Barn car park. From there I walked up the road past the ODG Hotel and Wall End Farm before making the ascent of Pike o'Blisco. From Pike o'Blisco I headed down to Red Tarn and then walked across the Crinkle Crags with a detour to Cold Pike, which was a Wainwright I had yet to visit. From Three Tarns I made my way to the summit of Bowfell and back and then I returned to Langdale by The Band.
