SUMMARY:Weekend trip: Lake District\, Ennerdale
DESCRIPTION:The Club’s long weekend in wild Ennerdale promises early-summer 5-star walking\, climbing and cameraderie in the remote Western Lake District. One of the most remote of the Lake District valleys\, Ennerdale is largely unspoilt with its striking natural features providing an overwhelming character of wildness and tranquility. It’s many years since the Club last visited Ennerdale. \nEnnerdale inspired Wordsworth’s poem ‘The Brothers’ in 1800 after he and Coleridge visited the valley a year earlier\, but perhaps the area’s largest cultural impact has been on the sport of rock climbing. It was at Pillar Rock in Ennerdale that true rock climbing began. Previously thought unclimbable\, local shepherd John Atkinson scaled The Pillar Stone (as it was known then) in 1824 and kick-started a passion that climbers from all over the world share to this day. \nEnnerdale gives access to many of the western fells (20+ Wainrights\, including Pillar\, Steeple\, Kirkfell\, Haystacks\, High Stile and Red Pike as well as many lesser known fells) and also to several important crags for climbing (Pillar Rock\, Ennerdale Face of High Stile\, Raven Crag\, etc.). \nThis long weekend away (Thursday to Sunday) will be based at Low Gillerthwaite Field Centre in the heart of the dale with easy access to surrounding fells and crags. This is a self-catering independent hostel with five dormitories/40 beds. The LGFC has separate male and female toilet/shower facilities\, two lounges\, a dining room with five tables and benches\, and a kitchen. \nOf particular note outside are opportunities for additional recreation – bird-watching\, river swimming and star-gazing. Swimming is not permitted in Ennerdale Water but the nearby River Liza has many pools for swimming. Ennerdale is a Dark Sky Discovery Site\, offering some of the most spectacular night skies in England (on a clear night!). \n
