I had a grand drive up from York. A bit of light drizzle but nothing to worry about. I had to divert via Darlington to pick up some more dog food and grab a pack of thumb drives. I should have enough of both to last me fifteen weeks.
We arrived in Low Manesty which lies at the head of Derwentwater. It’s a grand place. I took the dogs for a quick run. They do the running and I poddle along behind or in front dependant on which way there are going. I decided that although the light is far from perfect I ought to get a couple of images in the bag.
That’s all for today.
These landscapes are enchanting.
ReplyDeleteMersad, it is giving it warm, windy and wet. These were just snaps. I'll try for better.
DeleteHappy memories of the Lake District and many memorable walks, with children and picnics.
ReplyDeleteFrances, keep the memories. The place is heaving with folk. They have disabled access around Derwentwater on posh plastic duck board. Get a combination of early onset Alzheimer's and a fast wheel chair and it is a nightmare.
Deleterough and beautiful countryside.
ReplyDeleteR.Mac, The English Lake District is not a large area but it is beautiful.
DeleteAdriaan you stand still, but the weather is nice in a great spot.
ReplyDeleteBas, I am hoping for some good weather but it isn't looking too good.
DeleteBeautiful scenery, full of water and memories, excellent photos.
ReplyDeleteBob, it is certainly a bit damp here.
DeleteThey may be "just snapshots" but they are wonderful nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteBob, I like this small corner of England. It does rain a lot but in between it can be stunning.
DeleteLooks like you pulled into another great destination.
ReplyDeleteDouglas, looking at the forecast I may stop a bit longer.
DeleteExcellent place - the lakes :)) Waiting for more pictures :)
ReplyDeleteRuby, there should be plenty more.
DeletePlease don't berate me or accuse me of schoolmasterly pedantry when I raise my head above the parapet to whisper that it's Borrowdale with a "w". I guess other commentators were too bashful to mention this - fearing the backlash of Professor Adrian's wrath. Gulp!
ReplyDeleteYP, I wouldn't berate anyone for correcting my spelling.
DeleteThank you very much I need an editor.
have rubbed it out and written it properly, Keswick is another hard word but I got that right. I'll have to check the spelling of Shepard's Crag.
You know the weather conditions so well that you can predict conditions and then what photos you might get. That's super planning.
ReplyDeleteRed, I know what weather I want. Getting it is a matter for higher powers than me.
DeleteAs a young man the Lake District in general and Borrowdale in particular was my spiritual home. I spent many happy summer and winter times there.
ReplyDeleteLangdale was my stamping ground. I still love it here out of high season.
DeleteThis is magnificent scenery and great shots.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, they are fine but won't set the world on fire. It is an incredibly beautiful place when the weather plays nicely.
DeleteLa segunda me gusta mucho, el cielo está precioso!!
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Laura, it is a dramatic place when the light is right.
DeleteI love your beautiful photos in grey weather and it's a delight to revisit the Lakes. We walked there when we came from Australia to study at Manchester in the 70s, and last year visited and still made it up Skiddaw and/or the easy viewpoint above Keswick. Jean
ReplyDeleteJean, the view point is Latrigg. It's about as high as I get these days. I will have a wander up Cat Bells if the weather looks good.
DeleteThat's it! Wainwright kept it for his old age - good choice!
DeleteI still enjoy Wainwright's guide books. Cat Bells is hard work from here.
DeleteBeautiful place Adrian.
ReplyDeleteMaria, it is, I try and have a week or so here most years.
