Day 1: St. Bees to Ennerdale Bridge

14 miles

             

      

 

After dipping our boots into the Irish Sea we set off along the cliff top path. At Cleator we indulged in ice creams and signed the Coast to Coast book. We then continued on up Dent Fell, along Nannycatch Beck and finally arrived at Ennerdale Bridge. Our welcome at The Cloggers wasn’t quite what we expected with a ‘Put your boots on that mat’ welcome as the door opened! An evening meal at the Shepherd’s Arms followed a fine and sunny day.

 

We all enjoyed the mandatory 'boot dipping ceremony' and selected pebbles to take to Robin Hood's Bay

 

The lighthouse comes into view as we walk along the cliff path

 

Unfortunately the train is not going in our direction!

 

A brief pause on Dent Fell summit . . .

 

and time to take a photo of the Sca Fells in the distance
