Time was limited with a 90 minute drive each way, so we chose to start our short walk in Rosthwaite, Borrowdale. The Children's Mother was keen to walk up to Watendlath Tarn which strangely over the last thirty five years of walking and climbing, I had somehow not managed to visit!
We left the North East in thick fog on the promise of glorious sunshine in The Lakes and we weren't disappointed!
Leaving the M6 to the artics, we drove home over Hartside Pass and had this lovely view back to the lakeland fells.
(And I got my feet back onto snow!)
The fog at home hadn't lifted all day which made the trip all the better!
Back to re-arranging furniture tomorrow....
You made a good call heading west....the fog lifted by lunchtime(ish) in Newcastle but it was still decidedly misty at the coast when I got home (no surprise there then!) Love that shot of the tarn....what a view!
ReplyDelete(and you're right, Dan Dare it is!!)
It sounds like you had a wonderful day out :)
ReplyDeleteShame about the lack of gluten-free...
I was a walker and climber in my Liverpool youth, and the Lake District was my playground. Beautiful, even when there's gluten in the gingerbread (modern version of "fly in the ointment")
ReplyDeleteDo you know Blea Tarn in the Langdales?
:))) yes - great day out
ReplyDeleteLovely :-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful. I must visit there some time. I think I was near there on holiday with my parents as a child.
