Dog Daze! - May 2011

May is a usually a busy month for me one way and another and this year seemed even more hectic than usual. All this means I went a bit AWOL as far as fell walking was concerned but I did manage to get a few walks in with the boys, not all of them reported on the website as you will see (though all are reported on Facebook at the time, why not check out my page to see what's happening around the Lake District?) I hope you enjoy the latest collection of misfits and out takes, commonly known as the Dog Daze!

This is an April photo I found in the 'forgotten vaults'. Castle Head, Keswick (NY 269 226) is an easy stroll from Love the Lakes in St John's Street but one which gives great views of Derwent Water for relatively little effort.

Another from the forgotten vault - Connie gets the giggles whilst modelling the hat she made for our Royal Wedding street party.

A panoramic view of the Duddon Estuary from Roanhead.

Dougal and Casper enjoying the sun, sea and sand.

Little Dougally Doo stands on big Casper to get a better view.

Windermere sunshine through storm clouds.

Casper, submerged in Stickle Tarn...from a quick walk up to Stickle Pike that didn't end up on the site.

Still, the summit was lip smackingly fantastic!

It was a bit blowy up on Great Burney (another walk that didn't end up on the site!) so Dougal does the decent thing and shelters behind Casper.

Keep your hair on Dougal!

Stand firm, hold your ground!

This is a major sheep poo alert...ohh, the ecstasy of it!

'Ahhh, that's better'.
