They got the forecast wrong today! It was supposed to be blowing a hooley and fairly cloudy. Sometimes wrong is good! A last minute rethink brought us to Parkbrow for a local walk that wasn't going to take us two high given the windy forecast.
 |
| From the carpark we crossed a couple of fields and then headed uphill, by the side of the wood seen here below us as we pause for breath. Already it is a stunning morning, with hardly a breath of wind. |
 |
| Before long the summit of Gowbarrow is in view. Beautiful but cold as you can tell by the condensation on the lense! |
 |
 |
| From Gowbarrow we head over to Great Meldrum, the small lump ahead. The slightly bigger lump to the left is Little Mell Fell. |
 |
 |
| The Dodds on the left and Blencathra at the back. Perfect fell walking weather. |
 |
| Swinburn's Park and a lovely sunny lunch spot. |
 |
| Ullswater will dominate our view for most of the second half of the walk, this is looking park as we walk through the lovely Swinburn's Park |
 |
| Barton Fell, Martindale and Boredale on t'other side |
 |
| The Memorial Seat |
 |
| A Steamer heads up the lake |
 |
| The last stretch of our walk is through the lovely Aira Force falls. Having seen hardly anyone all day, predictably there were a few more folk around here, but not many so it was still a nice way to finish the walk. |
