The Wet Lakes - Part 1

Following our Ruby wedding celebrations we took a trip up to the Lakes. Having dropped Joe off at Derby station we proceeded across country to the M6 and the North West. We left J35 early on Monday afternoon and went off towards Windermere in the hope of catching a visit to the 'World of Beatrix Potter'. This eluded us as we drove several times passed it without seeing a sign to it. We settled for a walk to Windermere and a stroll along the shore.

We then made our way back to a view point over the lake. Here, we were told by locals, are great sunset views across the lake, at the right time of year.

The following day was our great trek through Kendal for shopping and petrol, and on to Helvelyn. This was a beautiful spot and we arrived as the rain stopped.
