The blue skies of yesterday had gone
again by this morning to be replaced by the more usual leaden, grey
variety. I think I picked the brightest place in the whole Lake District
for a walk today from Loweswater up to Mellbreak and back along the
other side of Mosedale along the Hen Comb ridge.
I called in on Roger and Ann Hiley at
Oak Cottage, Loweswater who joined me for the initial stage
of the walk up to Mellbreak with their two dogs Harry and Bethan.
