Harter Fell
(Mardale),
Mardale Ill Bell
and High Street with Paul D.
It was back to Mardale Head today on
another fabulous day for walking. Visibility was a little less than perfect
but I still managed to get some reasonable photographs. Mardale Head was
very crowded and parking places limited but we were able to squeeze the car in
at the side of the road and set off towards Gatescarth pass. Most people
seemed to be doing the walk in an anti-clockwise direction. I think we chose
the right way. On the way home we stopped off in Shap at the very friendly
and welcoming
Bull's Head Inn where we had a superb pint of Thwaites' Wainwright Ale.
This beer has just been launched to celebrate the centenary of Wainwright's
birth. It was excellent.
