Ennerdale Bridge May 28

 

We walked the path back where we left off our walk yesterday at the railroad tunnel. We walked under the tunnel and over a farm track. We had some problems navigating this area but eventually we found the markers and a good trail around More Row. It was at this time we met Jo, a New Zealander. We walked with her along the paths and up to our first real high point, Dent Fell at 1000 feet. Here we met 2 Austrailian women that joined us on our climb. It is about 1000 feet up. It was a gradual climb. At the top the views are breathtaking and here is where we met another walker and she is from the Netherlands. The hardest part is coming down which is very steep. It is recommended that if it is wet to slide down on your backside. Down we went arriving at a spectacularly beautiful beck. We followed this lovely river trail into Ennerdale. Bridge. We had lunch at the pub of scampi and chips and cod and chips. Sue and Liza the waitresses went out of there way to get our coats dryer and to get in touch with Roselly the B and B owner.. We were to early to get into our B and B so we walked Jo down to the lake called Ennerdale Water. It is the most westerly lake in the Lake District National Park. We then walked her along the lake for a bit. She then set off to her camping barn. We walked back and came to our B and B a beautiful place called Thorntrees. It is owned by Rosaleen and Billy. We got a warm welcome and a cup of tea.
