This mornings trip on the steamer wasn't quite as sunny, but we found a sheltered spot on the front deck.
The path leads away from Pooley Bridge from the corner by the bridge, through the woodland along the lakeshore.
The convenient new path avoids the roads, next to fields and woodland.
Thankfully it wasn't quite as wet as last year, but there were a few patches that were quite mudsome in a cow-y kind of way. And some patches that were muddy in a boggy kind of way. And some that were muddy in a slippy forest path kind of way.
The heather was out in full purple over Gowbarrow Fell. We saw a couple of big flies, but weren't inundated.
Aira Falls was exceedingly busy but we found a free bench to stop for lunch, then walked around the wooded shore path back to Glenridding and Patterdale.
