After a BIG breakfast at the coffee shop in Ambleside, and a very cheery bus ride to Coniston on the 505, we set off walking back along the Cumbria Way. There were a few spots of rain, heavy clouds over the fells behind, and a bright rainbow ahead.
The grassy path was wet but good going. Tarn Hows was predictably busy, we took the far side path over Rose Castle Plantation.
We had lunch (including tiffin from the Lunch Box!) by the bridge at Skelwith Bridge, then took the bridleway over the low end of Loughrigg Fell and down to Miller Brow and into Ambleside.
