Windermere to Brockhole 4th July 2008 |
|
|
Friday, 4th July, was a beautiful,
sunny day for our public transport walk. After our bus journey from
Lancaster, we set off from Windermere through the woodland paths below
Orrest Head. Following our picnic in the meadows, we continued past
Crosses Cottages and Far Orrest farm to be rewarded with spectacular
views over Windermere lake to the hills beyond. Our route then took us
down into the valley and over the bridges crossing the Trout Beck. We
walked up past cottages at Town End, Troutbeck, before descending via an
old lane. By this stage it was a lovely warm afternoon and even the
horses were sheltering under trees as we passed Middlerigg Tarn. Our
route ended at Brockhole where we went to have a look at the lake and
jetty and some even paddled! - followed by refreshments on the terrace
before our journey back home.
