Bowscale and beyond....

An epic day with Tom in the heat, meant an early start. The plan was to park at Mungrisdale, walk along the road to Mosedale, up to Bowscale Tarn - to do some underwater photography; up  the back wall of the corrie; over Bowscale Fell towards Blencathra; onto Mungrisdale Common and then back over Bowscale Fell to its summit and descend down through Young Wood - the highest woodland in England, into the valley and back to Mosedale. All of which we achieved and a very welcome pint in the Old Crown in Hesket Newmarket at the end - as you can imagine there were a 'few' photographs - so a few blogs....

Despite it being a Sunday and very warm, there were only 4 people at Bowscale Tarn, which suprised me and they were leaving after a swim, so we had  the place to ourselves. Tom enjoyed his underwater photography....and I above the water ....


One of the few remaining Water Lobelia flowers.

Lovely clear water ....


..and the view from below the surface....

I love this one! 

Looking up, from under the water. 

Getting the view above and below the surface ....and more ....

Water Lobelia.

...and one of the many underwater plants I don't know!
