Today Jo and I waited until the weather improved to give us a sunny afternoon out. We walked up to the delightful High Nook Tarn, returnng via Holme Woods to see the spectacular Holme Force, running well due to the recent wet weather. We watched as Dave Allen of High Nook farm moved his sheep into this field.
Not deterred, harry took full advantage of the water for a swim. Harry always looks very slim when his coat is flattened by water !
I'm very popular all of a sudden ! The treats bag is out ! High Nook Tarn can be seen behind us as we ascend the path above Holme Woods. (photo by Jo) A view of Grasmoor from the same path.
An autumnal frond in front of the falls which were running in spate after all the recent rain.
Harry and another bridge, this time lower down the same beck. Time for Harry, Bethan and Jodie to play in Loweswater. Grasmoor, with Whiteside to the left in the sun, seen over a very full Loweswater. Darling Fell and the rowing boats. - - - o o o - - -
