We do tend to visit in the extreme ends of "the season" normally between November and April. Its a fantastic wild place with some wonderful views and stark mountains just waiting to be walked!
So for my birthday we shot up on the 8th and spent a day in the rain. Not unusual in the Lake District and anyone who visits without the relevant clothing is in for a disappointment. Suitably clad we visited Tarn Howes as my Number 1 Daughter Caroline had mentioned it and although Sally had been there as a child i had never seen it. Wet misty but still very lovely and we were the only ones there
A quick sortie into the shops where i managed to escape with only buying a pair of Jack Wolfskin slippers for Sally and then back to the Hotel where we arrived just in time to see a most wonderful sunset.
We had hoped the following morning would be clear but unfortunately the fog had rolled in and so we decided to have a hearty breakfast and then head for home. It had been our intention to visit one of our favourite spots at the Honnister Slate Mine but its closed until near the end of Jan.
So there we are another great little trip to the Lakes follow this link below to see other pics, this is the wonderful sunset we managed to see
