Blake Fell & Gavel Fell

Yesterday we headed out onto the fells with Peter (who had been working in the area).

We started off at Cogra Moss

These look like waves on the water but it is in fact frozen like that

Heading off on the forest track

This beck is pretty frozen too

Looking down on the end of the forest track.  It had been a gentle climb in the trees, this got the lungs working.

It soon became gentler as got closer to the summit

Knock Murton with a little of Cogra Moss in view

We have reached the summit, looking back at where we had walked

The west end of Ennerdale is just visible

In the distance Fleetwith Pike & Buttermere

Looking at our next summit Gavel Fell 526m

We retrace our steps to begin with

Knock Murton & Cogra Moss

After a lunch stop we decide we have time to loop Cogra Moss on the forest track rather than head straight back to the car

We are down, looking back up at Blake Fell

Although we had climbed these two before we had not used this route.  The walk was about 4hours and it was great to catch up with Peter again
