Wet Lakes - Part 2

Tuesday turned out to be a very full day. From photographing rocks and water on Helvelyn we drove on into Keswick. Here we had a pub lunch in the Twa Dogs Inn. This was a mistake as we were to eat a large meal later.

Next we drove down the east shore of Derwent Water. One of our aims was to find Lord's Island. We knew that we had passed the island, but looked to turn into a car park on left hand side of the road. This did not seem very interesting so we proceeded along the single track lane to the next car park. Here was an amazing waterfall running under a stone bridge to Watendlath Beck.

The road went past other car parks. One spot gave a good view of Derwent Water and our first view of Lord's Island.

We continued up the narrow road. I was guessing that the last car park would have a pay meter it did. I took some not very succesful photographs. (I do need some neutral density filter for such bright light and slow shutter speeds.)
