Grike, Crag Fell, Caw (Ennerdale) & Lank Rigg 14miles 3300ft


Leaving the car parked just south of Ennerdale Bridge to start the
climb up Grike

A little higher and St Bees Head on the coast next to Whitehaven
comes into view

The valley of the river Calder flowing to the coast. Calder Hall on
its banks was the original original name for the nuclear power station, which became Windscale and then Sellafield!

Some interesting skies from the summit of Grike 1596ft

....and forwards to the climb up to the long ridge of Caw  

Ennerdale Water shortly after from Crag Fell 1710ft

Looking back to Grike and Crag Fell.... 

The Loweswater and Buttermere fells from near the summit of Caw 

Haycock.... 

....and the Scafells from the summit of Caw, today's highest point
2288ft


On the descent I passed some sheep farmers with their very clever
dogs gathering the sheep from the fell tops



After a good deal of ups and downs the summit of Lank Rigg was in
sight

Lank Rigg  trig point on the final summit of the day

Finishing with a panorama of the West Cumbria coast from Black Combe (Nr Barrow) to the Solway Firth 

A Total of 4 Wainwrights today leaving just 12 more!

If anyone would like to sponsor me to finish the last 12 Wainright's for our registered charity, The Rwanda Group Trust, that helps the poorest of the poor in Rwanda please follow the link below.

Thanks!
Michael
