Left and centre photos are
from a brief photo stop at Loughrigg Tarn as we head north towards Keswick.
Our first destination for the day was Ashness Bridge which can be found off
the route south from Keswick towards Borrowdale. |

Ashness Bridge is shown in
the centre photo above. Barrow Beck runs under this picturesque old
packhorse bridge down to Derwent Water which can be seen in the distance.
More excellent views across Derwent Water can be seen further south at
Surprise View as we head towards Watendlath. |

Another old packhorse bridge greets us at
Watendlath. This tiny hamlet at 847 feet above sea level is in the care of
the National Trust. |

Watendlath Tarn is shown above and in the photo
on the left is Watendlath Beck which also flows down to Derwent Water. |

Not to be missed at
Watendlath is the Caffle House Tea Room and home made cakes, although
unfortunately this was the last weekend it was open before closing for the
winter months. |
