There is more than one Sour Mill Gill (sometimes different spellings) - the name might be because as it cascades down over rocks it looks like milk.

Once a workmen's hut for Dubs Quarry at the top of the Honister Pass, the Dubs Hut was renovated in 2016-17 by the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA). www.mountainbothies.org.uk/" rel="noreferrer nofollow www.mountainbothies.org.uk/ The purpose of the MBA is "To maintain simple shelters in remote country for the use of all who love wild and lonely places." And this is most definitely one such place. The deep cleft beyond the hut is the path down to Gatesgarth and the southern end of Buttermere Lake.

You can only see the crags of Great Gable on the left. Kirk Fell is in the middle, and Pillar is the higher hill beyond that. The photo was taken on Green Gable, heading down to Windy Gap.
