A few days of glorious sunshine, but we've both been full of cold and Husband really doesn't feel like heading out for a walk. I don't feel much like climbing anything but fancy a walk. So Jay and I head out for a real tourist ramble. We park at Ashness bridge and head up the beckside towards Watendlath
 |
| The National Park lads are busy rebuilding the parapets for the bridge which was demolished in the December Floods. Kindly they have built a bit of a causeway for folk to cross the beck in the meantime |
 |
| A beautiful day for a meander by the beck. Spot the dog! She had a ball dashing in and out of the beck. |
 |
| Watendlath Tarn |
 |
| t'other side of the Tarn these two guys were fishing |
 |
| It is most unlike us to do an 'out and back' walk, but this is such a lovely path and the lack of effort involved was just what was needed. Coupled with the need to keep a source of water for Breeze, who like us is less fit than normal but doesn't twig that slowing down might be a good idea in the heat. |

A lovely 5.5 mile. A few more people than we are used to, but that's the price you pay for coming somewhere like this and as they were all polite and friendly then I think we can cope!
