I agree that ascents are often preferable to descents!
Thanks Dovegirl
I have tried to plan this weekend with minimal descending. Impossible on the Lakeland Fells
Must admit I was reading your route and did a double take when you mentioned cutting Steeple and Scoat Fell and instead heading for Red Pike, I assumed you were heading via High Beck and on to the Red Pike at Buttermere - so was surprised when you turned up at Dore Head!
Thanks forgotmyoldpassword, it is nice to get out for more than one night. I should have mentioned it was the Wasdale Red Pike
I've camped at the top of Ennerdale in the trees just down from the footbridge.
It is a nice place, we've camped there 4 times now, in 4 different places.
Thanks sunnydale
you ever tried the purifying water with tablets trick? Or is that just for urine? Somebody at school/sixth form years ago said he had tried it but tastes disgusting!
I have never tried the tablets or urine
