Yewbarrow and Buckbarrow (Wasdale). 7.5miles 3350ft

A short visit to Wastwater before starting the climb up.... 

....Yewbarrow 

The climb goes up the side of Bell Rib the nearest of the two peaks

Looking west down Wastwater

Danny crossing the side of Bell Rib 

Arriving at 'Great Door'.... 

....now looking down on the summit of Bell Rib

After further climbing to the summit Great Gable appears

Brew time next to the summit cairn 2058ft

Lunch time after crossing over,  Over Beck.

After returning to the car and a short drive along Wastwater we
then started climbing Buckbarrow... 

After reaching the summit 1410ft we could see to Ravenglass and the
estuary of the river Esk

Finally back at the car with a last lingering look to the Scafell
masiff.

Thanks Danny for your company

I used to stay there regularly getting on for 50 years ago with
Michael Jackson, Bernard Popham, Martin Morris and others.
