Crinkle crags, Pike of Blisco and Cold Pike

A belting walk! ...We did cheat though by parking at The Three Shires Stone (which isn't there!) We drove over Hardknott and  to the top of Wrynose to park - fun in an estate car. We set off dead early as we were concerned about parking, but there were several spaces available when we arrived at 9:00. Our aim - three more Wainwrights for Rocky...although I have done Crinkle Crags and Pike of Blisco before, several times and from Lamgdale, I hadn't done Cold Pike....Surprisingly, or not, there weren't many people on the tops, as in the heat everyone headed for the rivers.  

Looking down Wrynose to Hardknott.
