Because it was so wet there are not many photographs. Storm Callum had raise the level of Windermere such that the jetties that we normally lunch by were underwater and our usual bench on this route was inaccessible due to the high water level.
As we left the mere we climbed up through a beech wood an opportunity for some photos.
Walking along a footpath I saw this wonderful maple over the wall
And some fungi which reminds me I haven't yet shared Mondays Fungifest!
Wednesday was overcast but dry so we headed of to Tarn Hows, on arriving we were unable to park so moved on through Coniston past Brantwood House, the former home of John Ruskin, to a car park by the lake giving a walk through part of Grisdale Forest. This involved some steep climbs but gave some nice views across to Coniston village and an opportunity to do some bird watching.
