FC CP at NY 109153 (Toilets removed long ago). Umpteenth ascents of these - Smithy Beck Trail, E, to unmapped forest road, then along it WNW to quarry and thin FP up to Bowness Knott, good thin path NNE, then a bit of a heather bash to old, now overgrown ride and over new fence to Brown How. Then steeply up true L bank of Rake Beck, (an FP not for the faint-hearted), to Great Borne, on to Starling Dodd, Little Dodd, and a TR SE to join FP descending from Red Pike (horrible rocky ground if descend before TR), back to FC CP.Isbjorn04/02/2022

Sunny but very windy. Went for the west end of the north Ennerdale ridge. Started with steep but rewarding ascent of Bowness Knott, then back down to col and up Brown How. Exciting path up gill onto Herdus requiring hands in places then over Great Borne, Gale Fell, Starling Dodd and Little Dodd with great views but wind made it hard work. Down to YH via Red Pike path and back along lake.BURGESS15/06/2021
