Crina Bottom, Yorkshire Dales, Spring
After returning from North Wales, but before returning to work, Lisabet and I decided on a wee spring jaunt up to Crina Bottom.
Crina Bottom is a 400-year old farmstead situated above Ingleton and below the peak of Ingleborough. The route to summit Ingleborough from Ingleton via Crina Bottom is one of the most popular trails to top this famous peak. As such, it’s nicely paved all the way, allowing for easy hiking as the views become increasingly gorgeous.
Once at Crina Bottom, one can enjoy a ridiculous view straight to the flat-topped mountain that is Ingleborough. Just beyond the farmstead, limestone clints and grikes are a photographer’s paradise for compositions.
Plus, we had gorgeous light too.
All photos taken on my Sony α7ii using my Sony FE 28–70mm f3.5–5.6 OSS zoom and Rokinon 14mm f2.8 ED AS IF UMC ultra-wide prime lenses. RAWs developed in Lightroom for iPad, then edited and finalised in Affinity Photo 2 for iPad.

Hiking up Fell Lane to Crina Bottom, a glorious day made shooting this landscape impossible to ignore.

Life… finds a way.
Above the farmstead, one can a lovely patch of limestone clints and grikes to play around with and try out some compositions.

Evening sun bursts from behind a cloud, pulling out all the delicious textures and forms of the limestone rocks, and brushing a paint stroke across the face of Ingleborough.
