Route Map
Wow, what a change in the weather today
after what seems like an age of constant heavy rain. The sun was shining
in an unseasonal return to summer - I almost dusted my shorts off for
our walk to family favourite, Gummer's How today!
Slow down, slow down! Connie and Angus take off to
Gummer's How.

Looking along Windermere, the early mist is still low
on the lake at the top end.
