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.
A steep ground confidence day working with one lady. From Honister to Stone Cove screes to work on her skills a little at a time until reaching windy gap. Learning footwork using poles effectively. We ascended Green Gable first followed by Great gable, returning via the same route so she could walk down the screes... with huge improvement.
