Route Map

School's out for summer now and Connie was keen to get up to Gummer's How once more, especially as we ended up inside most of the day yesterday in poor weather. It was warm enough but the views were poor in low lying mist - at least we missed the rain.

Who's idea was this? Just brill-i-ant in an area where many people walk with dogs and children - they will now have to skirt around herds of cattle and hopefully not get trampled in the process.

At least it was warm though. Connie with Casper and Dougal at the summit.

Windermere. That looks like rain heading our way down the lake.
