A Lovely Walk Around Ennerdale Water

On Thursday we were dogsitting Katie, Lisa & Stuarts dog. It was again a lovely day so we decided to go for a walk around Ennerdale Water. No time is wasted in finding the water for the dogs. There was a little breeze but strangely some of the middle of the lake was still.

We also had some panoramic pictures to take so rather that just follow the lower path we took the higher route over Anglers Crag.

Views of the west end of the lake

Looking up the path to the summit of Anglers Crag

And looking down to the lakeshore path below

Back down on the lakeshore path again

This tree has recently come down on the path Looking back along where we have walked

Katie loves swimming to fetch sticks

Our next panoramic point

We are not just taking them for the views but to show the vegetation

We are now on the track at the east end of the lake looking west

Our next spot is by Irish Bridge

Where the dogs enjoy a dip in the Liza

Our last stop for the day is by Smithy Beck

Along the track we spot for the first time a grey squirrel. These posters are up all over the valley following the first case in Ennerdale of Red Squirrel Pox.

After Bowness Knott was drop back down to the lake. We both comment on what a striking blue it is.

Katie swimming we had hoped Crag might copy her, but no he doesn't do swimming

This is the footpath we repaired on Tuesdays work party

Back at the weir & it has been so dry that no water is coming over it.

Job done on Katie a quiet evening ahead for us
