Start Point: Seathwaite Grid Reference: NY 236 123
Distance: 6 miles Ascent: 2,800 feet
Comments: This walk was added in retrospect and contains lots of photos of the ascent but none of the descent.

Climbing up beside . . .

Sourmilk Gill

Looking back down Seathwaite Valley . . .

where many cars are parked along the road to the farm. . .

And again from higher up . . .

where Ray chooses a vantage point . . .

but we'll just stick to the footpath

From this elevation . . .

lots of fell tops can be seen . . .

but adding the walk in retrospect . . .

it's difficult to name them all

Possibly heading from Base Brown to Green Gable

where there are views to Buttermere and Crummack Water . . .

into the Ennerdale Valley . . .

across to Pillar Rock . . .

Pillar . . .

and Kirk Fell

From Green Gable the path can be seen to . . .

Great Gable . . .

with its memorial plaque

Wast Water is seen from Great Gable . . .

before the stony summit is left behind
