Car park with a view ay? We set off up through Glencoyne wood the route we chose was strenuous and overgrown and the flies were relentless, maybe this was the reason we ended up on the wrong path.
Or maybe it was my poor navigation? We soon stumbled onto Glenridding Dodd which wasn't on our itinerary so I say happy mistake, we bagged another Wainwright.
The view from the summit was breathtaking..
The next view was from Sheffield Pike looking towards Glenridding and the Kentmere horseshoe.
We had some brilliant views of Helvellyn and Catsye-Cam all day including the crowds on its summit, which made me realise we hadn't seen many people on our route is this a remote part of the lake district?
Lunch spot with a view.. surely this is "eating out" at its best?
The winding path up Raise was intriguing and i decided to bag another Wainwright.
The path back to Ullswater was like something out of a film and made me realise why I love the lake district so much, its pure beauty and tranquil sounds are truly relaxing.
After 12.39 miles, 3,819ft of elevation and 7 Wainwrights we just had to have a dip in Ullswater to cool off!
