 Great Borne, Starling Dodd & Red Pike from Buttermere 10.5miles 3100ft                              

Setting off from the village of Buttermere on a perfect late
summer's morning

Taking the path beside Crummock Water, Melbreak fell on the horizon

Looking back to Fleetwith Pike

A little further along Crummock Water 

Leaving the lakeside to cross the moss to climb Great Borne above
Floutern Pass 

Looking back from above the pass the way I'd come from Crummock
water  

The summit trig point on Great Borne 2019ft with the Cumbrian coast
behind  

Crag Fell above Ennerdale Water which was part of last week's walk

A panorama looking back - Ennerdale (L) Buttermere (R) and the
Solway coast behind 

Crummock Water and Grasmoor from the path to Starling Dodd

The way ahead to Red Pike from Starling Dodd summit 2085ft 

A panorama of the Grasmoor fells 

Arriving at the summit of Red Pike, today's highest point 2479ft

Crummock Water again from the summit

The steep & badly eroded path down past Blea Tarn back to
Buttermere

Zooming in on Buttermere village

A magnificent day's walk with three Wainwright's. However I'd climbed and counted Red Pike previously, so just two more done today leaving ten to complete.
