An Evening Saunter around Hallin

We had thought about doing a walk this evening if it was a nice day - and then Husband woke up with a really bad back. Thankfully our Chiro managed to fit him in this morning, so we didn't have to abandon the plan completely - but we did have to curtail our ambitions!!

Martindale as we set off round the Hause, it's approaching 7pm

Beda Fell with Martindale to the left and Boredale to the right. The Bracken took some getting through along here - can you spot Husband? There are very few pictures of Breeze - we saw even less of her than usual today. this first part was so thick with the wretched stuff.

As we gain a bit of height, Ullswater comes into view

Boredale

A rare sighting of a spaniel - and Ullswater



Evening light on Ullswater - magical!

Dad's a bit slower than usual so I make Breeze sit while we wait for him to catch up. She really doesn't see the point. In her mind it is just as logical to keep charging around like a lunatic and checking in every now and then to see if we are still here!

Finally arriving back at Martindale New Church at about 8:30pm, where the locals appear to be congregating for the evening service!
A lovely gentle 3 miles and we saw just two other people. I would imagine you would need to pick atrocious weather to walk this route during the day and see that few folk
