Description

14.2km, 450m. Ennerdale, Lake District.
Low cloud above 1,500ft, steady, light rain. Neil and I. Buttermere YH, low-level route via Scarth Gap Pass, Ennerdale Valley back to Bowness cottage. Had hoped to do the ridge again but due to the clag decided to play it safe. Nice to get back to someone else doing the cooking.

Area : Western Fells

The Western Fells form the southern wall of the Buttermere valley and the northern fence of Wasdale. Between the two lies Ennerdale so that in effect the group is the shape of a single horseshoe, each branch about 10 miles in length. At the head of Ennerdale stands Great Gable. The southern arc of the group travels due west from Great Gable, the main ridge consisting of Kirk Fell, Pillar, Scoat Fell, Haycock and Caw Fell.
