We should run a bus company. We hadn't walked along the Glenderaterra since 2006, and then in the space of two weeks, it gets three visits. Jay and I were here on our last walk, and then on Saturday - for a change Mr B and I decided to head up here just to walk the dog. We've had a fair drop of rain lately so the track which we walked out on is a tad damp. Breeze had a fab time charging backwards and forwards through the puddles. Mud lark that she is.
The Autumn colours are looking spectacular, quite interesting to be able to look back to
last week and compare. Looking back towards Derwent Water.........
Roughten Gill was in full spate. It's not hard to see why there is a Hydro Electric plant going in.
As we were only doing a short dog walk today, we turned round just after Roughten Gill to take the lower path back. Only problem was that we had to cross the Gill again. Hmmmmmmmm maybe we'll go back up to the bridge
As we head back up to the Blencathra centre, this windswept Larch gives a clue to the prevailing weather around here. Just 4.5 miles, but what a place to exercise your dog.
Then today ....... Thursday is one of my riding out days, so we couldn't start out from home till getting on for ten. The weathermen were forecasting showers (getting heavier after lunch) and gales in the afternoon. we had a few route options planned, but decided to stay low level and close to home. Mr B opted for the walk that Jay and I did a fortnight ago, so just to make it a bit different, we reversed the route. Looking up the Glenderaterra valley from Brundholme, the colours just get better and better.
The sun lights up Bassenthwaite
And then St John in the Vale
And then it lights up Derwentwater
Ever feel like you're being watched?
About 7 miles today, but it's such easy walking here it feels far less.
