Wintry Day on the Dalesway

Distance: 10 miles
Ascent: 450m
Weather: grey and nippy
Seen: mud, water bubbling up from the ground, off-limits hill, swans.

We retraced our steps into Bowness and headed off again along the Dalesway. Where yesterday we turned off at the first crossroads, today we carried on along a very pretty path, muddy in places to School Knott promontory and Grandsire. We walked on, through a very wet field with water bubbling up, swirling around in a hollow and disappearing back into a culvert or something. The water was splashed through, slippy rocks and tree stumps almost avoided. We stopped by a fence and looked over to a 256m Hump and decided it was too far from the right of way to visit.
We retraced our steps back to where the path splits between Bowness and Windermere (near Heathwaite Manor) and took the north route back to Windermere.
