Good Old Gowbarrow

We are trying to get out as much as we can at the moment but with things to do this afternoon we decided to give Gowbarrow a visit this morning. A lovely little fell, close to home but also handy to pop straight into Penrith afterwards if we are cutting it a bit fine.

Breeze can't bare to look at my trousers!

This path now forms part of the new Ullswater Way. Great for tourism, but I am afraid the path has suffered badly as a result. it is badly in need of repair. Being antisocial, this will also have made this area even more popular than it was before, so the days of quiet walks around here are probably over

We had gone past the bench as there was someone on it, but they left just as we were looking for an alternative spot for our lunch. Breeze didn't hesitate to lay claim to it, her Dad is coming back to join us too. It is her favourite bench after all

Time to go - not that way Breeze

One last pose on Her Seat

A small herd of Fell ponies have taken up residence in the field opposite the car park.

The day was getting better and better and in a way it was a shame we had done it this morning not this afternoon. That said, we had managed a lovely 4.5 miles and for the first half, seen very few people. The lakeside path and wood around Aira Force were incredibly busy though. We can only assume it is still half term somewhere!
