	Bowfell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bowfell (named Bow Fell on Ordnance Survey maps) is a pyramid-shaped mountain lying at the very heart of the English Lake District, in the Southern Fells area.
		It is also possible to approach the mountain from Eskdale, or from Borrowdale by way of the Langstrath valley and Angle Tarn - a long walk.
		The flanks of Bowfell include the Bowfell Links, nine vertical gullies in the side of the mountain.

	Lake District - Scafell index
		The area perhaps owes its superior height to the nature of the rock - these fells are formed of volcanics, and tend to be rough and craggy in contrast to the smoothly rounded slate-formed hills to the north.
		Bowfell itself, England's 6th highest summit, stands proud at the head of Langdale and is a magnet for walkers.
		Wastwater, which delineates the Scafell / Bowfell group to the west, is however one of its finest features and is celebrated as England's deepest body of water.

	Edward Baines on Bowfell and Scafell Pike, 1828 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The whole of the mountain does not belong to him, but he has a great part of it, and his sheep-walk is separated from those of his neighbours by a ravine, a gill, or some such boundary.
		He had at different times tended sheep on Bowfell, Scawfell, and the surrounding hills, but there was a great want of combination in his knowledge: the plans of his sheep-walks lay in his head like separate portions of a dissecting map, which he could not put together.
		Whilst we were climbing the last and steepest part of Bowfell, and had been too much engaged in looking to our safety to observe any thing but the rocks around us, the sky had become completely overcast.

	A Lake District Walk - Crinkle Crags and Bowfell from Great Langdale
		The first one I plotted was Crinkle Crags coupled with an assault on Bowfell, another Lakes mountain I had never attempted before.
		The gap flanks Bowfell and its neighbouring mountain Esk Pike.
		At the highest point of the gap and just 1.000 metres on the other side of Esk Pike is Esk Hause, a place Steve and I have stood many times, often in swirling mist, deciding which path would lead us back to Borrowdale from the Scafell range.

		Source 2 describes a race between the Bowfell, under Capt. Ellery, and the Rajmahal, under Capt. Balderstone, the previous commander of the Bowfell.
		The Bowfell was lost in the Karimata Straights in the Java Sea in May 1886.
		She was bound for Liverpool from Manila with a cargo of sugar, and struck the Discovery shoal, ESE of Milliton.

		Surprisingly Bowfell is hidden from view for much of the climb and it is not until you have reached around 1800ft (540m) that it comes into view.
		With the first objective clearly in view the climb becomes easier and with the aid of superb path reconstruction you are soon at Three Tarns.
		From the summit of Bowfell drop down to Ore Gap, either direct or after taking in the northern top of Bowfell.

		The next problem was that to carry on to Bowfell from the top of the Crinkles I noticed that the map showed a slight deviation to the North North West.
		From Three Tarns the walk up Bowfell was clear (I mean obvious - the cloud had descended again, so we had no views).
		As the path levels it heads West along Bowfell's summit ridge, and the actual summit is a bobble on this, a small castellated bobble, if bobbles can be castellated.

	Alan Rolfe's walks: Bowfell
		From the car park, make your way to the R of the hotel and it's walkers' bar (it will still be there when you get back) and pass through teh gate to go L onto a level bridleway that makes its way up Mickleden.
		Where the path divides, you can carry straight on and continue to Esk Hause before swinging round and climbing Esk Pike, or, as time was now getting on, go L and climb to Ore Gap (where the path from Esk Pike joins from the R).
		However, the way down from Bowfell down to Three Tarns is very difficult, being quite steep and very rocky; a real trial on my knees, I found.

		John Barrow's "Mountain Ascents in Westmoreland and Cumberland" (1885) is neither a guide-book nor a tour journal, but a series of records of ascents made by the author at various times, arranged geographically by the centres where he was staying.
		The route to Bowfell passes under the grand cliffs of Great End, which are quite perpendicular, as also under the base of the Great Gable.
		The summit of Bowfell is of a broken rocky character, easy of ascent, the rocks being firmly embedded in the mossy ground.
