Finch on Loughrigg? Not sure what make of Finch this is (sure someone will put me right) but he was certainly very friendly and not at all bothered by my presence This picture appears in the following picture tours: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 500D 1 person has added this picture to their favourites |

Farm close to Loughrigg Tarn and Grasmere A very quiet looking farm just off the western edge of Loughrigg tarn. This shot give a good idea of what the day was like, thick cloud with heavy rain interspersed with periods of lovely sunshine. The waterproof has never been on and off so many times in one day!

Old gate Grasmere This old gate took my eye on the road not far out of Grasmere towards Loughrigg. A long time since was used a gate I reckon but quite a regular passing for animals it seems This picture appears in the following picture tour: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 500D |

Grasmre from Loughrigg Grasmere viewed from halfway up to the summit of Loughrigg. Just one of several stops on route to the top to get breath back and stop my heart trying to jump out of my body! It's a ruddy hard climb but well worth the effort. Probably even more so on a nice day This picture appears in the following picture tours: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 500D |

Grasmere village 4 The Red Gecko A deceptively small looking building. Ground floor a shop selling all sorts of odds and ends, didn't have time to browse.

Grasmere village 2 Potted Out Lovely little cafe called 'Potted Out' very popular all day not just across lunchtime when I happened past it This picture appears in the following picture tour: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 500D |

Grasmere village 10 Grey Crag Grey Crag looming above the village green. You can just make out the track that leads to the top and Alcock Tarn hiding between the lamp on the right and tree to its left, and it is definitely as steep and hard going as it looks. Looking at it from here I probably wouldn't have attempted it, but it was well worth the effort! This picture appears in the following picture tours: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 500D |
