A remote yet popular area in the Lake District Day 2 of my trip in the Lake District UK. Starting with a long bus trip into the cloudy mountains of Glenridding, catching Ullswater on a traditional steam boat and scaling our first mountain of the trip- Helvellyn.
On the bus to Glenridding!
Yup, it's a bus aright, no doubt
it's an hour long ride along the A592 (Kirkstone Pass)
passing by some neat mountainous regions
the views from the clouds
they are spectacular!
we are in the clouds!
it can literally get rather cloudy here at times
No a problem with breakfast on board!
Here we are at our destination!
It actually rained?
Terrence going trigger happy
Some of the residences around the area
The place is surrounded by mountains!
Survival tips on scaling the mountains, so won't just die there. :P
A distant peak across Ullswater
A small stream from the highlands
The peaks do look daunting!
This must be Helvellyn water!
Now to look for a ride of the steamy kind.
aha found it!
when in doubt, just head to the nearest lake!
which this road exactly does!
the spot is popular with caravan campers
boats and lake, a perfect combination
a boat club by the lake
Now to start our steamy ride!
The lake runs along some
Dude where's my boat?
Our ride, pimped for the lake.
Full speed ahead!
She's quite a force on the lake!
A lake of little mercy too.
but the views just gets better with each corner
Is the sky pissing again?
The upper decks
A steamer sailing through 2 mountains apart
On board, CJ!
Shaun
Terrence!
exquisitely British!
I feel the earth move, under my feet
The wind in your face
Terrence & Shaun on the deck

I am at the controls!
Everyone's on the ship is now at my mercy. :P
