So little chance for decent walks with the continuous rain and horrendous flooding and of course when the weather plays ball there are all the other commitments of retirement to fulfill. We have the chance of a shortish walk today so headed to one of our favourite local spots and walked up Dale Beck from Fellside.
 |
| Well we walked, Breeze charged about like a lunatic as usual |
 |
| We realised as soon as we parked the car that the Blencathra must be about, and sure enough we had passed several followers along the first half mile. This walk is going to take ages if we stop and chat with any more! The hounds were up on the fell behind the path. |
 |
| Coffee stop as we get to Roughton Gill |
 |
| Time to head back. We normally cross the beck at Roughton Gill, but decided that given how much water there is about at the moment, we would be better to go back the way we had come up! |
 |
| Back in the car, heading for home we stop to talk to another of the locals. |
No more than 4 miles, this is a great walk when you want to stay low level and haven't got much time to spare.
