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.
