Route Map

Weather: Overcast, some showers, brightening later.

Today's walk is a circuit Ennerdale with the high point being Haycock. I could see the clouds were at a low level when I set off and was in the clag most of the day (again!), although there was a surprise clearing of the mist on Caw Fell.

Lingmell from Char Dub. The path used in ascent can be seen diagonally right to left on the right of the fell.

Into the mist on Lingmell, left and (an omitted Birkett?) Tewit How, right.

The Ennerdale Fence runs right over the summit of Little Gowder Crag.

The west coast of Cumbria appears through the mist on Caw Fell.

To the left - clear, to the right - mist! Ennerdale Fell is at the top of the wall in the distance with Whoap to the left.

Lank Rigg and Whoap from Caw Fell.

Someone doesn't want anyone to get to the summit cairn of Ennerdale Fell with a high wall and barbed wire everywhere.
