It looked as though we would be in for a lovely morning when I set off early for our Love the Lakes shop in Keswick and the first few photos show some of the views on the journey. It was looking so good, I may never have got there at all if I stopped at all the viewpoints along the way but there was time for a quick sprint up to the top of High Rigg. This must rank as one of the best commutes possible, a pleasure all the way!
There was a definite north/south divide in the morning weather today and the sun shone brightly over Keswick as I crossed Dunmail Raise. This was a relatively easy walk on lower ground across lovely summer meadows and taking in the delightful Tewet Tarn and High Rigg on the route.
It was a mixed bag of weather today with it being really quite gloomy at the start before I was hit with a big hail/snow shower, a brief sunny spell and then back to the gloom. A constant, though, was the icy wind; a good day to stick to the lower fells I thought.
The blue skies have disappeared again and it was back to drizzle and general greyness for a walk over lowly High Rigg this morning. The views weren’t great today but the walk was pleasant enough with rain setting in during my ascent of Castle Rock.
