Ennerdale Water
Distance: 12.1km (7.52 Miles)
Ascent: 417m (1368ft)
Duration: 3 Hours 5 Minutes
The aim for today was to complete the Mosedale Horseshoe at Wasdale and summit the mighty mountain of Pillar, but en-route to Wasdale I changed my mind for some unknown reason and completed a circuit of Ennerdale Water instead.
After only a couple of minutes walking from the car park you arrive at the Weir on the far western edge of Ennerdale Water. From here I turned left and followed the waterside path all the way around.

Calm waters. Just before taking this photo I saw a red squirrel - the first I have ever seen in the wild!
The mighty Pillar - the original goal for today.
Anglers Crag and Crag Fell.
Bowness Knott. Throughout this whole walk I couldn't help but think that little Bowness Knott reminds me so much of Rannerdale Knotts when I was walking around Crummock Water a while back.

And a view up Ennerdale with Pillar on the right.
A close up of Pillar, perhaps it was good that I didn't go that way today...
