the head of Ennerdale Water from the path beside Rake Beck
the steep climb beside Rake Beck
looking down on Ennerdale Water and the fox trap
looking over Bowness Knott to Crag Fell

Great Borne summit
a brief glimpse of Mellbreak from the slopes of Starling Dodd

the ancient settlement in Ennerdale Forest
the Smithy Beck path
Crag Fell and Anglers Crag from the shore of Ennerdale Water
So I completed the 214 fells this year just one day before the 42nd anniversary of Wainwright's last fell.
AW wrote "If Starling Dodd had been the last walk of all for me ... I should now be desolate indeed".
Of course I feel the same and my goal now for the rest of his centenary year 2007 is to revisit those fells on which I was in the mist (including today's pair!)
