Photos - Buttermere, Ennerdale and the North Western Fells
The area around Buttermere and Crummock Water is probably one of the most classically pretty in the Lakes whilst Ennerdale, only the next valley over, feels wild and remote.
The peaks of High Crag, High Stile and Red Pike separating the two make for an excellent high wild ridge walk, with fantastic views in all directions.

Alarm…. zzzzzzz …. 4 am. Unzipping of the sleeping bag cocoon… then the outer shell of the tent. Still dark, but I can see it’s cloudy with no sign of any clear patches. Still, it’s the Lake District, things change quickly. Alarm reset for 5am. Alarm…. zzzzzzz ….5am. Unzipping ritual repeated. Lighter, no less cloud. Not looking at all promising for that beautiful view of first light striking the dark bulk of Pillar above me. Alarm reset for 5.30am. Just in case. Alarm…. zzzzzzz …. 5.30am. You get the picture. It’s a grey one. Sod it. I cosy back up (read more)
