I could see there would be a temperature inversion over Windermere this morning so after checking out conditions at the south on the Gummer’s How road, I headed for the shop and from there took a short walk up to Brant Fell. It is easy to forget about the places on your doorstep sometimes and today was a good day to explore Brant Fell a little with the added bonus of being above the cloud.

On the way to Bowness I could tell there would be an inversion over Windermere so I took a short detour up the Gummer's How road to check conditions.

Summer House Knott across Lakeside. After the short drive to Bowness via Love the Lakes, I walked the short distance up Brantfell Road.
