After missing out on a Latrigg dawn on Sunday, due to lazyitis, I decided to set my alarm for 5am on Monday.  It was well worth the small effort.

After an early morning stroll around Derwent Water, a proper walk was needed, so the 79 bus was caught and Rosthwaite Fell called!

Paul Harrison (the Priest) and I had a good day's walking yesterday, Fairfield from Dunmail (the King) Raise.  We set off on a warm, sunny day and proceeded up alongside Raise beck.

I finally managed a long planned walk yesterday. Grasmere to Seatoller via High Raise and Eagle Crag, with a plan to try and meet up with Helmut on High Raise.

Sunday's walk was intended to be Sheffield Pike and Glenridding Dodd, new turf for me, not for our companions though.  It thundered early in the morning and we thought we'd be calling the walk off, but, we decided to give it a go and see what happened.

After Friday's exertions I didn't feel like walking much, but Lorraine had come all the way up to Barrow, so I dragged my aching bones out of bed and we headed for Devoke Water.

A very busy walking weekend for me, too much probably, too much sun for sure, my head is peeling!  With Lorraine heading north on Friday afternoon I had a walk on Friday morning over to Black Combe from Bootle.

Lorraine, Janet and myself had a tootle down to Ladybower reservoir today for a wander up to Alport Castles.  Great weather, certain people said it was a bit windy, but it was a lovely sunny day with only a few minutes of grey sky.

Yesterday I took advantage of the lovely weather to have a run out on the bus with my Mam, Dad and Ben (the dog).  A beautifully tranquil day with barely a wave on Walney channel (until Ben went in).  Loads of birdlife around, great big flocks doing aerobatics over the bay.
