Wall to Wall Sunshine in Grisedale

We parked at Glenridding bridge and then followed Beck eastwards, heading off into the trees to climb up onto Keldas


Once out of the trees Ullswater comes into view behind us. It's another glorious Monday!

Lanty's Tarn suddenly appears as you get to the gateway

Then after walking through Brownend Plantation, the views up Grisedale open up ahead. Awesome on a day like this

Looking behind is pretty good too

This is such a peaceful valley. Pure, unadulterated isolation. On a day like this there can be few places more appealing.

Up ahead, Ruthwaite Lodge comes into view. An Outward Bound maintained Bothy, that's our turning point.

That's Mummies Little Princess looking a bit muddy

Towards the end of the walk, looking back

And ending the walk with a quick dip in Ullswater.  8.6 miles for us, so about 86 for her, I guess she deserves it - and it's not a bad way of cleaning her up either!
