What a stonker of a day. I was riding out first thing, and there is no better way to start the morning. When I got back we decided to forget all the jobs that are piling up at home and get out for a walk. So off we went, a few miles over the hill from home and we parked at Mungrisdale
 |
| We use this track as a short walk quite often, but today it would give us a quiet way up onto Bowscale Fell |
 |
| The track gradually becomes a path, before it splits into sheep tracks |
 |
| A late start meant lunch before the climbing was over. It was so warm sitting in the sheepfold by Bullfell beck we could have stayed here all afternoon |
 |
| Restaurant with a view |
 |
| Off up the sheep track we go. It's pretty steep here |
 |
| But worth the effort ( excuse the glare!) |
 |
| We came across a couple of Ermine holes on the way up |
 |
| Blencathra appears as we gain height |
 |
| Having scaled the dizzy heights of Bowscale we now head over to walk down to the tarn. it shirt sleeves weather even up here |
 |
| We're heading down the bit on the right there....... |
 |
| ........to Bowscale tarn seen over Breeze |
 |
| A bit cooler here but a really rare treat, Bowscale Tarn in sunshine. Time for a swim (Breeze NOT me. Not ever, Never, Not even on the hottest day of the year) |
 |
| Love the way her tail makes a fountain |
