Wainwright's 202 & 203 from Bowness Point to Ennerdale YHA via the tops. Took a pretty vertical route up Rake Beck (which according to a local I met a few days later, he said he'd not seen so much water flowing down it for years!). Quite breezy on top and I could see the forecasted heavy rain coming in from the west. Decided not to revisit Red Pike (the best view in the Lakes imo) as the wind was picking up and I want to get down to the YHA before the heavy rain hit, which I did, just! | Butty | 01/08/2022 |

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. | Isbjorn | 04/02/2022 |
