The extreme wet weather made an unwelcome return again yesterday and many roads in the area were flooded with flood warnings also being given for many areas in Cumbria. I visited both Love the Lakes shops this morning and was good to see that all the roads were open and largely clear of water. There was some localised flooding and I took some photos of these areas on my journey. Eventually I ended up in Borrowdale for a short walk up to the lowest Wainwright of them all, Castle Crag.
A few photos taken on the way to Love the Lakes, Bowness…

Looking the other ay from the same place. The water has risen above the bank on the grassed area to the left and that boat on the right has broken its mooring.

The almost inevitable flooding at Fell Foot cafe. The water isn't as deep as it has been the last couple of years but I think the tea room is flooded.
