Climbing up beside Big Stanger Gill from the start in the village of Stonethwaite |
 |
| Looking back down to Stonethwaite in the Borrowdale valley |
 |
| Still following the path beside the gill.... |
 |
| ....then crossing it but....AAAAAAAHHHHHH Danny will explain!!!! |
 |
| Thankfully he survived to see the sunrise over Bull Crag |
 |
| Shortly after we arrived at the summit cairn of Bessyboot 1908ft.... |
 |
| ....time for Danny to get his much deserved brew. |
 |
| The view looking west over the Base Brown ridge to Fleetwith Pike and Buttermere fells |
 |
| We then descended with views to Seatoller at the bottom of Honister pass |
 |
| After a short drive to Rosthwaite we then climbed the diminutive but impressive Castle Crag |
 |
| Arriving at the summit of my FINAL WAINWRIGHT the lowest but probably the most popular of all the 214 Wainwrights at just a lowly 951ft |
 |
| We had some lovely views over the craggy summit down into Borrowdale.... |
 |
| ....and to Derwentwater |
 |
| A final look back at the steady stream of walkers just visible climbing the Zig Zags of slate spoil approaching the summit |
Michael has climbed all 214 Wainwrights in the Lake District in order to raise money for the Rwanda Group Trust, feeding the poorest of the poor in Rwanda.
