Derwent Water round walk.

A fairly dismal day, so we set off round Derwent Water. Some very 'atmospheric' views across the lake. The lake itself was quite low, which was good, and the path easy to find - although thanks to the developments at the Lodore Falls Hotel you can no longer skirt round the back of it - instead there is a very short stretch on the road. Nice to see the National Trust's centenary stone, which I have never seen before. The far side of the lake was relatively quiet and a late lunch in 'The Chalet' at Portinscale was very tasty.  About 10 miles in total and a good walk out.

Looking up the lake towards Borrowdale.

Heron; one of several coin-studded fallen trees; Lodore Falls - not exactly in spate! 

Looking back down the lake towards Keswick.

A very obliging robin - Fawe Park.
