With Jus, Cat & Jim. Loop from Langdale, up the band, across Crinkle Crags, down to Cold Pike and back down via Red Tarn and Oxendale. Tough going given that we were all either injured, ill or exhausted! However, a glorious day enjoyed by all, with amazing weather for October. Loved bagging a hill every few hundred feet on the crinkles!wheresthepath02/10/2022
