oh yea!, it's like we've climbed above the clouds!
But the rain didn't drench our spirits!
only after we climbed up to a certain height. :P
Strange, it stopped raining...
The Ullswater lake where we had our steamer ride
Oh so that's where we came from!
We are as high as the adjacent mountains
The stairway to heaven!
Oh there are trees up here too.
We were literally climbing into the skies!
oh gosh look at the climb...
scenery galore means photo galore!
Overlooking the trees previously obstructing the view
The path soon degrades into a grassy climb
The woods transitions to a gravel path from here
Views getting better which each climb
Oh look and ancient! :3
Neat stone path!
Passing through the highland woods
Never a bridge too far!
The grass is always greener on the other side!
The mountain top grassy plains
The cloud covered mountain peaks
grazers, they are everywhere!
Helvellyn, turn right!
Moving up along the streams
And our mountain trek begins up this path!
Next Helvellyn!
presumably orginating from the highlands given rain
few of the commercial establishments around the town
the water is unbelievably sparking clear!
A stream running towards the lake
the lake side "beach"
Off at the docks!
no man is an Norfolk island
wave at the mountain trekkers!
And we even made new squirrel friends. :P
But at least there's a nice bar here. :)
so we are pretty much grounded in the shelters
it's coming down again
the lake is amazingly calm and tranquil
Picking up some trekkers along the way
Hey we have the deck to ourselves!
Argh! me too!
Umm someone let me in?
It started raining nearing our destination
The skies were largely overcast today
CJ taking... something
The lady chugging faithfully along behind us
what does THIS lever do?
