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.
Night nav expedition with Ian Holtby - preparation for his ML assessment. Climbed up from Honister and up Grey Knotts with several nav points on the way - including a box search for a sheep fold below Dubbs Quarry. Stayed at Dubbs Hut - repairs to the roof and outside fire place in progress and camp beds had been left by the work party! Cold, clear night. Following day, walk out to Lansdale via Moses trod, Windy Gap, Sprinkling Tarn, Esk Hause etc. Finish at Dungeon Ghyll.
