This must be about as far south and as far
away in the Lake District as I could get from my last walk
up to Binsey. The truth is I didn't expect to get out
anywhere at all this week but there is a lull in the shop
preparations in Keswick as they are screeding the floor and
we can't get near today. That made today's walk all the
better and I always find Blawith Knott a good shorter walk.
The Keswick shop open this weekend so if you
are in the area, please call in and see us - we will all be
there including Dougal and Casper and it would be great to
have a chat.
