Just doing what we love doing.

Sometimes days can be over planned. We had intended to drive down to Coniston and either go for a walk in to Coppermines Valley or walk up to Tarn Hows from Monk Coniston. As it turned out, we ended up driving a few miles down the road to Threlkeld, had a coffee and slice of cake in the excellent Village Hall Team Room and then walked up to Blease Gill, one of the many becks coming off of Blencathra.

The gill contains many cascades and waterfalls and is one of Wainwright's more direct routes up to Blencathra's summit. That wasn't to be our aim so we took the footpath following the intake wall to the Blencathra Centre and then followed the lane back to the village. Not a long walk but you get lovely views down St John's In The Vale to the Helvellyn range and also westwards across to the distant North Western Fells.

Later in the day, Sal got her Tern out and cycled from the caravan site to The Milll Inn in Mungrisdale where I met her for a pint.

A most enjoyable day.
