A fine day as we put on
our boots at Buttermere.
|
|

The Wainwright memorial
in the church.
|
|

High Stile in the early morning sun.
|
|

Crossing Scale Bridge.
|
|

Grasmoor over Crummock
Water.
|
|

Scale Force.
|
|

Looking back to Robinson.
|
|

Esther and Jenny near
Floutern Pass. At this point I had to drop back down to the bottom of Red
Gill for a reference. The ladies took a diagonal ascending route under
Floutern Crag.
|
|

Floutern Tarn.
|
|

Red Gill, form here I
headed up the left of the ravine, met up with the others and then up to
the summit of Great Borne.
|
|

Starling Dodd and Red Pike ahead.

|

Zeta investigates as we
approach Starling Dodd top.
|
|

This is it , Starling
Dodd, the last of the 214 for both me and Zeta.
|
|

The second cairn on the
summit made up of the old tangled ironwork of the fence.
|
|

After a celebratory drink
we then headed up to Red Pike.
|
|

Mellbreak and Crummock
Water from the crags of Red Pike.
|
|

Zeta and Jenny.
|
|

Todays team. (Zeta goes a
bit shy)
|
|

The steep descent off Red
Pike.
|
|

At the saddle before
Dodd. As the ladies headed down towards Bleaberry Tarn I had one reference
to get by dropping down here towards the dip before returning back up.
|
|

The well made pitched
path down to the tarn.
|
|

Red Pike from the tarn
outlet.
|
|

There were not many
summer days as good as this. Chapel Crags of High Stile form the backdrop.
|
|

Descending the Sour Milk
Gill path.
|
|

Cloud shadows on
Fleetwith Pike.
|
|

An old stand of pine
trees. |
|

Grasmoor and the green
field of Buttermere.
|
|

High Snockrigg reflected
in Buttermere.
|
|

Fleetwith Pike.
|
|

And to finish a grand
day, a pint at the Bridge Hotel. From here we headed to Keswick to
complete the day with fish and chips in real AW style.
|
|

Even on the way to
Keswick there was chance to tick off a couple of other references
including this one. PM or email me if you think you know where it is?
