Thirlmere

There's a good reason they decided to build a reservoir here - I got a good drenching on my first morning in the Lake District. There is something special about walking in the rain, the sound and atmosphere bringing a different life and mood to the landscape.

 

This is from the Binka Stone ( a large boulder) looking north. I had planned to walk the circuit of the reservoir but the path and road are closed due to landslips, so I headed up to this viewpoint and then back to the car.

 

My 6d had started going a bit funny but was fine after drying out. I must take a plastic bag and a cloth next time I take it out in wet conditions.
