Two days Walking

We have walked the past two days nothing too adventerious but atleast knocking two wainwrights off the to do list.

On Monday we did Glenridding Dodd. Our pace was very slow under 2 KM an hour but it wasnt a long walk so it didnt really matter. We started and finished at the Travellers rest which was a lovely pub up a narrow lane. we started the wlk from the pub down the footpath back towards the lake (not the planned route but we couldnt find the marked path so I reversed the route). The walk along the lake was lovely aloth the lake was quite high so coldnt get on any of the beaches there. The climb up to the top of the hill was coated in fallen trees that littered the path but the view from the top was work the walk. We had lunch on the top before making our descent back towards the pub. We found a way off but not the one that IO had planned to use but it got us to the pub I suspect that the path on the map has been moved by the locals as there were a few signs saying to footpath. We stopped at the Traelers rest for a lovely a drink. The place was fairly busy with quite a few of the outside tables in use. The pub looked nice and the Ale was nice, will go back.

Yesterday we walked up Hallin Fell on the opposite side on the Lake. Again the weather was nice and we enjoyed some food at the top over looking Ullswater. Near to the plinth on the top there was a fake Olympic torch that was part of a competition being run by the Ullswater Steamers.

The car was fixed, a bit expensive but we have it back and its running much better.

Weather is rather crap today the cloud is low and it quite wet so we have put off walking today in the hope that it clears tomorrow.
