Husband has a bad back but the weather is too good to miss, so with his permission (!), Jay and I set out for a girls only walk. We decide to go up onto the Dodds, as the only time Jay has been there before it rained all day and we didn't see a thing. Today was definitely going to be different.
Today is a special day too. It's Breeze's birthday!

| Tagkai Ruby (Breeze). 2 years old toady. Where does the time go? |
 |
| Having parked at High Row, we walked over Matterdale Common to Great Dodd. It's pretty featureless on the way up - with the exception of fabulous views of the Northern Fells. But once you are up there - it is awesome. Views across the whole of the national park. Today was a great day to be there. Although it was a bit hazy for photos, it was brilliant to the naked eye. |

| On a day like this, it is hard to see why anyone wants to be anywhere else. |
 |
| Still snow on the sheltered slopes |
 |
| Spot the Dog! |
 |
| Endless beauty |
 |
| Some folk never grow up |
 |
| After Great Dodd, Watson's Dodd and Stybarrow Dodd, we headed down Sticks Pass - the highest named pass in the Lake District |
 |
| Before taking the path to walk around Glencoyne Head, with its views of Ullswater and on through Dowthwaite head and back to the car. |

| It's my Birthday! |
It was a beautiful day. Just over 10 miles for us, so a guestimated 100+ miles for the birthday girl. I wonder how many other two year old's could manage that?
Happy Birthday Breeze. Cannot imagine her wanting to spend it any other way :}
ReplyDeleteHope J's back is better soon.
