We had planned a day over in the Lakes to get some photo's for this trip. The weather had other idea's and it chucked it down for most of the day, not great for the shots I wanted. Anyhow we took the gamble of driving over in the late afternoon, and it paid off. We managed to fit a short walk in and got some great photos to boot, rounded off with a visit to Keswick for a fish and chip supper!
