4th Nov 12 - Orrest Head to Waterhead
Gloriously sunny start to the day. Took taxi to Windermere and climbed to Orrest Head, walked the 8 miles via Troutbeck to Waterhead and caught the boat back.
|
| The view that inspired Alfred Wainwright |
|
| It was certainly 'inspiring' today. The inversion was spectacular with Windermere just poking out of the clouds below |
|
| The view over the town of Windermere still in the clouds |
|
| Happy sheep |
|
| View to Windermere and snow covered Langdales beyond |
|
| The sheepfold on Robin Lane |
|
| Perhaps my favourite view of the curved track to High Skelghyll |
|
| Windermere shot into the sun |
|
| Fairfield Horseshoe from the boat |
|
| Ill Bell and High Street topped with snow |
|
| Steam launch takes a turn around Windermere. And why not on a day like today! |
|
| Bowness as we came into the jetty |
|
| Finally, I planted up the winter pots on our balcony |
