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.
Working with 2 ladies for steep ground work, mainly confidence walking on scree. I took then to windy gap via moses trod, We spent lot of time at the bottom of the scree workng our way higher a little at a time. The use of poles for balance was incorporated after gaining some confidence without them. They summited Green Gable and wished to return by the same route to grow their confidence further. Lovely day, mainly sunny spells with a light wind.
