More Lake District Winter Scenes

Walked on 26/12/2010

Today we had a walk down at Fell Foot at the south end of Windermere and later a walk along the shore of Derwent Water from Keswick. It was a bit of a grey day really, the sort of day that lends itself to mono photos rather than colour although really there wasn’t much difference!

The charge of the Beardie Brigade! After visiting Fell Foot and of course Love the Lakes in Bowness, we went to Keswick and had a walk along the shore of busy Derwent Water. There were plenty of people on the ice - I resisted the temptation to go on it and my recommendation is not to go on it or any ice covered water as you can never tell how thick the ice is.

John Ruskin said of Friar's Crag: 'the first thing I remember as an event in life was being taken by my nurse to the brow of Friar's Crag on Derwentwater'. That first view of Friar's Crag made a deep impression on the five year old boy, and years later he described the incident as 'the creation of the world for me'.
