Seatoller to Ennerdale Bridge

7JUN2015 - After two very relaxing days at Seatoller House and dinners that are award winning, we started our next to the last leg of the C2C Walk at 09:00. Came over Honister Pass and headed for Ennerdale Lake. Turned off too soon and had to backtrack a bit. Sorted it out and then came down the long, steep trail leading us to Black Sail Youth Hostel. After that a long walk through a pine forest then over to Ennerdale Lake. Walked about 3.5 miles on the trail along the lake then a mile or two along the road to reach Ennerdale Bridge. Our lodging for the night is the Stork Hotel in Frizington so the hotel picked us up at the Shepherd's Arms Hotel (we stayed there 19 years ago and decided not to give it another try). Enjoyable dinner at the Stork Hotel talking with hikers just starting their walk East. We finished today at 17:15 and covered 13.6 miles and climbed 1,800 feet. Tomorrow we finish the C2C with a 14 mile trek to St. Bees. Looks like it'll be another perfect day.
