A Damp Walk Around The Balcony

Just Jay and I today - Husband was on patio duty (see next post!). The weather was being a bit of a pain, so we did a walk that could be altered according to the weather - we ended up on the short route, with a fair dose of showers. But a cracking walk it is anyway, so we're not complaining.



We had parked at Gale Road with a view to walking over Sale How, but unless the cloud lifted, it was going to be The Balcony walk again, just from a different starting point. Having walked down to Brundholme, we crossed the Glenderaterra  in the bottom of the valley

and then followed the beck up to Roughten Gill

Before crossing back to the other side. We stopped at the shelter for some lunch and made the decision to continue on the Balcony instead of heading up into the clouds on Sale How

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Nearly back at the car, we head across the end of Lonscale, looking out across Derwent Water
Only about 6.5 miles, but not a bad dog walk for a rainy day!
