Derwent Water.
Looking south from Blencathra.We were lucky again with the weather, warm and dry every day bar Tuesday, when it rained all day. Tuesday we spent around Keswick with our waterproofs on, the rain wasn't going to keep us in. There are over 2000 miles of footpaths in the Lake District.
Sun 4/10/09 we walked to Scar Fell Pike. We've done it before but this time we went the opposite way round.

Mon 5th We walked up Blencathra, not as easy as it looks walking up hill is never easy.

Tues 6th It rained, I don't hill walk in the rain so we spent the day in Keswick.
Wed 7th We walked up Castle Crag then on to Seatoller. On our way back
playing in the river was an otter, it's the first I've seen.
They are much larger than I thought they were.

Thurs 8th We walked to Grasmoor and Crag Hill passed a disused graphite mine, easy walking but the down hills really gets to my knees now.

Frid 9th We walked to Watendlath and Grange fell. When we got to
Watendlath Farm our intention was to make for High Raise
but the weather started to turn, it also got very boggy under foot so we turned around and made for Grange fell. The rain held off but the wind got up and it also turned cold.

around the lake and town then set off for home.
