close up of the mountains in the vicinity
docking at one of the mid stops
How is it Howtown?
Fanastic views even a canine will approve!
not that we are very much different from dogs!
ohh nice valley!
chugging along down the lake
to our next dock stop!
ahoy dock cable!
in the bowels of the ship
Portrait of the steamer designer
The steamer had been through quite alot for a ship!
CJ spies with his shooter
Hey there!
I am on top of.... a bench!
Our last stop on the lake!
chlling out on the docks!

Noises! anyone down there?

The lady chugging faithfully along behind us
CJ taking... something
The skies were largely overcast today
It started raining nearing our destination
Umm someone let me in?
Argh! me too!
Hey we have the deck to ourselves!
Picking up some trekkers along the way
the lake is amazingly calm and tranquil
it's coming down again
so we are pretty much grounded in the shelters
But at least there's a nice bar here. :)
And we even made new squirrel friends. :P
wave at the mountain trekkers!
no man is an Norfolk island
Off at the docks!
the lake side "beach"
A picnic by the lake?
A stream running towards the lake
the water is unbelievably sparking clear!
few of the commercial establishments around the town
presumably orginating from the highlands given rain
Next Helvellyn!
And our mountain trek begins up this path!
Moving up along the streams
Helvellyn, turn right!
grazers, they are everywhere!
The cloud covered mountain peaks
The mountain top grassy plains
The grass is always greener on the other side!
