The forecast was not good for today, but this is the only day we'll manage a walk this week. Anyway, we've all got waterproofs and sometimes you just have to get out! No point going very high as the cloud is down, so a short, lower level walk is planned.
 |
| We parked at Hartsop car park and headed up Hayeswater Gill towards the Filter House |
 |
| After the Filter House, we cross the foot bridge |
 |
| and walk up the other side of the gill |
 |
| Before crossing another bridge, just below the dam. This dam is due to be demolished in the summer to allow the Tarn to rewild. It has not been used as a reservoir since 2005. |
 |
| From here, we follow the shoreline to the far end - it looked a bit eerie looking back. We could have been the only people on the planet. |
 |
| We keep walking up Hayeswater Gill at the far end of the tarn, until we find a spot at which we can cross. Took a while today, quite a bit of water about!! |
 |
| Then a spot to have our lunch. |
 |
| Before walking along the other shore back to the dam |
 |
| and then back down the gill, staying on the left all the way back down to reach the car by a slightly different route. |
It rained most of the 6.5 miles, but is was completely still and mild. I can't think of a better way to spend a rainy Monday.
