The school holidays have begun and Connie and friend Maya wanted to try Geocaching today – so we did just that on Gummer’s How where there are a couple of hidden treasures. I think we timed it a bit wrong as it was sunny either side of the walk, but never mind, we enjoyed the walk anyway.
Sort of sunny, sort of not at the start of the walk.
Ulverston Amateur Swimming Club on tour - the new Barrow School's Junior 50m Backstroke Champion on the left and the new Barrow School's Junior 50m Breastroke Champion on the right (the doggy paddle champion is bringing up the rear, and it's not me!).
Before the shower hit the summit of Gummer's How.
Two onto one will go!
Maya and Connie can't believe the amazing pushmi-pullyu has made an appearance once more - two heads and four legs but which way will it go next?
Storm approaching along Windermere.
Looking across to Lakeside, looks like a yacht race below.
Dougal surveying Windermere.
Not forgetting Casper the fell maestro.
More rain, even heavier coming in. By the time we got to Bowness the sun was out and it never looked as though there had been any rain at all.
