It may have escaped your notice, but there hasn't been a of of fell walking of late. It's incredible how quickly your fitness drops off, so we decided on a nice gentle way up and a nice gentle way down today.
 |
| We parked at Sandwick but instead of going straight up the front of Sleet Fell, we opted for a 'round the back' route |
 |
| It doesn't matter where you go round here, the views are always amazing. Ullswater really is the best of the lakes. |
 |
| The Coast guar does a spot of training doing a fly by with the Steamer. It was about now that I discovered that my camera had stopped working. A tad annoying as this was my old camera as my 'big' camera had gone away for a spot of warranty repair. Oh well, thank God for modern mobiles! |
 |
| By now we were on a less frequented route, over Mortar Crag and The Knight. A cracking route onto Place Fell and very, very quiet. Bliss in fact |
 |
| We decided to stop for a bite to eat whilst we were in such a lovely, lonely spot |
 |
| Before arriving onto the skyline of Place Fell. We had got a few ideas in mind as to where to go from here, but in the end, we decided on a long lazy meander down through Boredale. |
 |
| Heading down towards Boredale Hause - That's Brother's Water |
 |
| Before turning into Boredale itself |
 |
| All around us all the way through Boredale were herds of Red Deer. They must be getting close to calving now but they were undeterred by us mere mortals wandering through their quiet valley. We didn't see many folk through here, but it always amazes us how many people don't even notice their presence. |
What a cracking walk that turned out to be. Only about 7 miles and very gentle, but a lovely way to get back onto the fells again.
