- Old furness road serves the highland mountains here
- The path soon degrades into a grassy climb
- grazers, they are everywhere!
- nice boat dock on our way back to Windermere
- Oh look and ancient! :3
- It started raining nearing our destination
- Helvellyn, turn right!
- The "old man" in the distance
- Oh there are trees up here too.
- Oh look more lifestock!
- It's a small little condusive town, with an excellent visitor's center
- so we are pretty much grounded in the shelters
- it's coming down again
- close up of the mountains in the vicinity
- Views getting better which each climb
- More grazers of the bahh! kind
- lake on the right
- docking at one of the mid stops
- Never a bridge too far!
- But the rain didn't drench our spirits!
- Strange, it stopped raining...
- The cloud covered mountain peaks
- the water is unbelievably sparking clear!
- only after we climbed up to a certain height. :P
- We were literally climbing into the skies!
- not that we are very much different from dogs!
- Shops around the town of Glenridding
- How is it Howtown?
- The Ullswater lake where we had our steamer ride
- He's a hit with the kids too!
- Moving up along the streams
- The grass is always greener on the other side!
- Neat stone path!
- Time to roll down!
- A stream running towards the lake
- The woods transitions to a gravel path from here
- Strange it started raining once we went downhill
- what does THIS lever do?
- And we even made new squirrel friends. :P
- valley on the left
- There are only 3 bus services from glenridding daily, this was the last one back!
- This slope is about 40 degrees tops, and stretches forever!
- Heading back where we came from is a good start! :P
- But at least there's a nice bar here. :)
- The lake looks very different from up here
- And our mountain trek begins up this path!
- Here we are at Coniston!
- Argh! me too!
- no man is an Norfolk island
- Oh so that's where we came from!
