I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud...




I never did get round to showing you some photos of the Lake District, did I? I spent a very happy weekend there back in early June, hiking with a group of friends.


We stayed in a very comfy B&B in Ambleside, aptly named 'The WaterWheel'....







On the Saturday, we hiked all day along a route known as The High Road....





 Part of the old Roman road

A gentler walk on the Sunday, from Ambleside to Grasmere, exploring some caves en route....














































Happy days!
