Lake District
After a good long rest to recover from the journey and the Solstice, we awoke to the beauty of Lake Windermere on our doorstep. The weather was showery with lovely strong sun in between and dramatic wind.

We set off on what was to be a short stroll around the lake. After getting directions from the National Trust Warden, we set off in search off Latter Barrow, a striking hill near by with (apparently) spectacular views.
After a while, our stomachs and the fact we had bought no food with us and were totally unprepared for a long journey, meant we took a detour to a place called Outgate where we found a pub with no food.

We decided to go on to Hawkshead where we found a lovely tearoom and brilliant our door clothing shops. For people that dislike shopping intensely (probably because we live in Brighton) we did well and bought some excellent and practical purchases for our journey we pleasure and ease!

After food, we set off once again in search off Latter Barrow, which this time was a success. Wow what a stunning view from the top with high winds.

After another walk back down the hill through High Wray, we finally reached home after our short 7 hour stroll!!
