Sunday's walk, Monday's walk, Tuesday's walk, Wednesday's walk

Holiday Photos
A full English breakfast inside us we head off along Windermere with our Ramblers Holidays Leader Peter
.
It is not a good day
.
But we soon arrive at the ferry
.
And cross to the other side of the lake
.
Bus waiting at the ferry terminal but we don't get on until the end of the walk in Hawkeshead
.
We head northwards along the western side of Windermere
.
Spotting this sign we quickly hide our fishing lines and guns
.
And walk briskly on in the steady rain
.
Quite a few shades of green here
.
As we enter woodland
.
Still raining
.
Improvised shelter - umberella hanging from a tree - as we stop for a drink
.
The lake stil looking gloomy
.
If I put my head in this hole the rain won't find me
.
Bluebells
.
Lakeside trees with a twisted sinister look
.
We have a catchup pause before we start climbing
.
To Wray Castle where we find shelter for lunch
.
Our afternoon starts with a view of Blelham Tarn
.
Mike contemplating a quick way back
.
As we walk through a remote farm before reaching Hawkshead
.
Where this street sign catches our eye
.
And we dive into the nearest tearoom out of the rain
.
Which is now affecting the photos although it does add atmosphere to this scene as we wait for our bus to take us back
.
