Little Langdale

I don't think it has stopped raining for 24 hours and it has been really heavy, putting loads of rain down. It was too miserable for a high level walk so we had a valley level one instead around Little Langdale. Of course, all that water has to go somewhere...

Great Intake above Slater Bridge, the snow topped Wetherlam is just peeping from under the clouds. Greenburn Beck is looking pretty full after all the rain.

Casper doesn't seem so bothered about how full it is though. To his right, the river is flowing over the path to the bridge, so not much chance of getting across it today. Later we saw a couple attempt it from the other side but they quickly decided against it.

Suddenly there was a cacophony of barks and a flurry of flying fur! Two more Beardies for Casper and Angus to play with!

Slater Bridge, almost overwhelmed.

Angus gives the eye - can I go and see those other two again?

Heavy rain again now over Little Langdale Tarn.

A final look back as Wetherlam appears again.
