School's out for summer! Well, at least Connie's is - so it was up to Stickle Pike this afternoon in glorious, sunny weather - a complete contrast to the weather when I was not so far away from here two days ago. Nice weather for a (unintentional) swim today, too!

Caw - today we can see it, a contrast to the weather on Wednesday!

Connie and Casper enjoy the view on the climb to Stickle Tarn,

Nice to cool your feet in...

...and have a paddle or swim.

If you are paddling, be careful not to fall in. Connie didn't heed that warning - sodden!

Angus is content to carry on swimming though.

Casper is content to soak as well - in the sun!
