Walla Crag and Great Wood

Something very rare happened today - we had a walk in the heart of tourist land!
We needed to be in Keswick this morning and as it was looking like an OK sort of day weatherwise. So armed with some info from a neighbour of a cheeky little parking spot that no-one seems to use we set off up Walla Crag



Across to Skiddaw

And Blencathra away on the right

Looking across Keswick, Bass lake in the distance






Sychronised action

Happy Puppy. It was her birthday yesterday - 6 years old. She still behave like a puppy.


Up on Walla Crag







Heading down to Cat Gill where Jeff discovered that his insides are still very sore and jarring himself down steep rocky paths was somewhat uncomfortable. 

Breeze on the other hand was quite happy to go up and down countless times


We're on to better ground now so Jeff is more comfortable. Breeze stops for a quick pose

A fly past of an Airbus A400M Atlas - the last time we had a fly past by one of these was on Shetland last May!

A gentle ramble back towards our parking spot


Mucky Pup

Derwent Water



Quick dip to wash the worst off
A lovely 3.25 Miles and although we saw more people than we would normally, they were all very sociable and mainly going in the other direction to us which is always a bonus!
Thanks for the tip Sarah, next time you want to park there you might find a Toyota in the way!!
