... and the first Wainwright of the year: Gowbarrow Fell (number 77 on the second round). A beautiful fresh and sunny day with some classic views. Good to see lots of people out and about. We parked at Aira Force, walked up the river and took the traditional route to the top, before returning on the really nice path that traverses, above the lake, and back down through Gowbarrow Park, to the carpark. We also came across the Veteran Elm that I had read about - an important tree for lichens, that came down in Storm Agnes.

| Some nice lichens...if I'd have known we were going to pass the Elm I would have researched what I should have been looking for! |
