Simon and Sal are up for the weekend, and the weather is still holding - so we grab the opportunity for a walk. We have only just been up Sheffield and heron Pikes, but they are close to home, give spectacular views and can include a lakeshore path. A bit of everything for a warm day and not too long a walk - leaving plenty of time for chatting.

| We decided to do a different route this time, so we parked at Glencoyne Bay and headed up to Seldom Seen. This time, at the end of Glencoyne wood we carried straight on and followed the wall into Glencoyne. Husband labels the view for Simon and Sal |

| Glencoyne. A perfect example of a hanging valley. We were amazed at how few people were about today. We normally avoid walking at the weekends, but so far we hadn't seen a soul. |
 |
| Walking round Bleabank Side. Looking back to Ullswater below us, there's quite a lot of stick waving going on today! We were parked in the bottom left corner of the lake. |
 |
| From Nick head we turn away from Greenside quarries |
 |
| and make our way to Sheffield Pike and Heron Pike |
 |
| And then on to Glenridding Dodd. As usual, Breeze beats everyone to the top. |
From here we took the steep path down The Rake to Glenridding and then followed the lakeshore path back to Glencoyne Bay. About 7 miles, fabulous views, brilliant company and another day of brilliant weather. We are really getting spoilt this summer.
