Route Map
Today we had a late afternoon walk up to
Gummer's How after visiting Fell Foot park at the foot of
Windermere. The views were rather hazy today but with it
being so late we witnessed a stunning sunset that lit up the
evening sky to the west.
Before we went to Gummer's How we paid a visit to Fell
Foot at the southern end of Windermere - for cake and drinks of course!
There is a lovely view of the full length of
Windermere from here.

On the path to Gummer's How, the sun is already
starting to set. What's Casper up to?
Louise and Connie share the view on the climb.
Some scrambling is involved on the upper section.

A fit of giggles from Connie, the boys aren't bothered
though!

Windermere.

The sun is burning a lovely yellow-orange now.
The Coniston fells and distant Langdales.
It really is a beautiful evening.
Enjoy the setting sun...
Nearly gone!
One final one from the descent.

It was a nice sunset tonight.
I took this photo of Mummy, Daddy, Angus and Casper
when I was lying on the floor.
Wow!
