Phew, what a scorcher as the run of superb weather continues in the Lakes. The day started off cloudless but soon built up after I set off from Keswick (in shorts at last!). a few weeks ago it felt like summer would never come…

Firstly, a few from the other day…

Today Connie and I were joined by a few families that follow StridingEdge and we had a lovely relaxed walk up to Walla Crag from Keswick. The weather was kind to us after recent days and it was great to chat to friends old and new along the way.

Today I did a nice circular route from our Keswick shop up to Walla Crag before dropping back down to Derwent Water for a wander along the lake shore. The weather was ever brightening with a hint of blue sky once down to calm Derwent Water; this is a lovely shorter walk from Keswick and the climb to Walla Crag is relatively easy following this route.
