From the Lower Gillerthwaite Field Centre, Ennerdale, you tend to feel pulled in two directions. In one direction, to the north, you feel pulled towards the delights of Buttermere and Crummock Waters and their iconic mountain scenery. In the other direction, you feel pulled towards the lofty heights of Pillar and its accompanying mountains of Scoat Fell and the fittingly-named Steeple. It is the latter we explore here.
