Lakeland

Post by Ninjachica »

No, not the shop!

Booked a day off yesterday and met my brother near Penrith. A quick bimble through Keswick and we headed off down some lovely roads.

Mainly, we did Honister Pass.
Do it.
Stunning.

We stopped at the slate mine:

We followed the road past Buttermere, and turned right... up and up...

Took a tiny track to the right, and followed it until we came across a nice spot for lunch 👍

We split up then, and I went down to Windermere, stopping briefly in Ambleside.

Saw a pair of chinooks thudding their way up one of the lakes😲, but couldn’t get a photo 😟

Great pics NC

Done the Honister some time ago. Due to do it again soon.

I bet we passed each other. I have been in Scotland last couple of days (maybe 2 pictures will follow)
Miles, did about 600 in 2 days, bum mumb.
Work is for people that can't play golf.
