Day
Two - 15.5 miles, 1800 feet ascent
Ennerdale to Stonethwaite
This is the day when the walk begins
in earnest. It starts alongside Ennerdale Water, continues through
a forest and emerges at Black Sail Hut, the most remote youth
hostel in Britain.
Looming above
are peaks with names like The Pillar, Haystacks, Green Gable
and Great Gable. Then a steep climb up the scree along Loft Beck,
a stream that descends from Dubs Bottom, and a high walk with
views of Buttermere Valley and Buttermere Lake below, followed
by Honister Pass and the descent to Borrowdale through Seatoller
to Rosthwaite and Stonethwaite.
