Alex Foxfield

Hello! I’m Alex. I am a Mountain Leader, writer and content creator based in Bristol. I love sharing my favourite hiking haunts and inspiring others to get out amongst them.

I am passionate about the great outdoors of the UK and can regularly be found somewhere on a mountain. When I’m not hiking, running or climbing mountains, I’m usually daydreaming or sometimes writing about them. If I can't get to the high places, I make do with running the roads, paths and trails around the city. For more information take a look at my website.

Bow, Crinkle and Rossett

Superb jaunt in the Southern Lakeland Fells on Sunday on Crinkle Crags and Bowfell. Hadn’t revisited these awesome fells since first traversing from north to south back in 2014. Was interesting checking out the Bad Step, Climber’s Traverse and the Great Slab, features I’d undoubtedly bypassed that first time 12 years ago. The terrain along this ridge is as rocky and mountainous as anywhere in the Lakes. Feels more like Scotland at times. Great views across Eskdale to the Scafells, which look monstrous from here. Got battered by hail early on but conditions were relatively benign after that, relentlessly freezing 40mph westerlies aside, but I quite enjoy all that. Also bagged Rossett Pike int’ way down, a Wainwright I’d still not done.

Thanks for sharing this fine circuit. I have made a note try this myself but probably by hiking rather than running!

Rising gently from Hawse End, the hike up Catbells via Woodford’s Path offers a perfect introduction to Lakeland fells. The trail begins through leafy woodland and gradually opens onto grassy slopes, revealing sweeping views across Derwentwater towards Northern Fells giants Skiddaw and Blencathra.

This is a mountain that owes its popularity to Buachaille Etive Mòr’s Stob Dearg summit, as Beinn a’ Chrulaiste is perhaps the finest place from which to appreciate Scotland’s most recognisable peak.



This makes Beinn a’ Chrulaiste the site of more than its fair share of wild camping trips and many a landscape
