Route Map
It was completely miserable this morning
with incessant rain which meant I didn't fancy the high fells at all. I
had a local walk up to School Knott from Cleabarrow which is an easy and
gentle amble across rolling, grassy paths. I walked part of the route
with a lady who recognised Casper and Dougal not from this site, but
from Lancashire Life magazine. Little Dougal showed an impressive turn
of speed racing her dog around - like Usain Bolt cruising he was today.
On the way from Cleabarrow, a new tarn or a flooded
field?
At School Knott Tarn and it is absolutely chucking it
down now.
School Knott across the tarn.
Damp Casper with Grandsire across School Knott Tarn.
Windermere from School Knott.
The damp duo - Casper and Dougal.
This tree might come in useful for Dougal, it's the
only one around - Orrest Head up to the right.
Old Droomer.
Fording the beck on the way back to Cleabarrow.
Snowdrops.
New boots in action - they needed to be waterproof
today and thankfully they coped admirably.
