Another Derwent Water

picture of the week
About five hours after this picture was taken the ship you can see to the right, the Ocean Nova, was stuck on rocks and would remain stuck for 36 hours, some of that time being battered by hurricane force winds. It was an interesting wait to say the least, with the nearest ship being 12 hours from us.
Latrigg II
Latrigg fell 2: The Return – This time it’s personal!
A year on and a slight change to Derwent water compared with today’s Picture of the week – it’s not frozen.
The other difference being that I made it to the top of Latrigg fell this time, only 300m or so and not a great achievement but still better than last years feeble attempt in the snow.
Picture is from the summit. The walk continued back down to the river that was overflowing it’s banks and flowing fast after yesterday’s rain and finished with a wander back in to Keswick along the old railway line.
Well if i’d known it was a silver mine …
Post Industrial-Apocalyptic wasteland. Also known as the Glenridding route up to Sheffield Pike.
RPDL of the week
It was around this point that we encountered a small knot of Rotarians who we’d slowly been passing here and there along the path. They were discussing the merits of continuing. It would seem the path ahead was too steep for them. They went through the trees and we later saw them while eating our lunch from the high vantage point at the end of the ridge. They were half way down the hill and had gathered into a knot again discussing something while a couple of them admired the view, albeit looking in the wrong direction.
