A short day out in the Lakes - 1 - Starting point
My son and I grabbed another day in the Lake District at the weekend. The weather forecast was for rain to arrive by lunchtime/early afternoon with a low cloudbase all day, so we had decided to stay low (below 500m) and headed for the south side of Ullswater near Howtown.
This time (sadly) the forecasts were spot on and even at 10am the clouds were covering everything above 500-600m, so views were restricted. Even so, it was great just to be there.
This is the start of a walk, taken from the car-park at the little church of St. Peter's in Martindale, looking west towards the misty peaks on the other side of Ullswater which lay between them & the easily visible Sleet Fell on this side of the lake.
ps better bigger!!
