To the Lakes for winter sun?
Judging by the emails I keep getting for winter holidays in foreign places, you’d think that we never see the sun in the UK. Yes it has been bad these last ten days in the Lakes with so much rain, but it didn’t stop our weekend party of friends enjoying good local walks in Whinlatter Forest; and to the top of Sale above Bassenthwaite where we had marvelous 360° views of the north-west fells.
The previous week though was something very different. Breakfast was on a sunny Belvedere terrace and over several days we had amazingly clear light, ideal for walks and photography. The three photos below show how the views from the Belvedere of Skiddaw and the marshes have changed so dramatically over the course of just 10 days – as sun was followed by continuous rain to create a new lake on the marshes!
Got something to say?
