Grasmere & Easedale Tarn

Today was a cloudy one with rain pretty much all day. But we are Aussies and we are tough so it takes more than rain to interfere with our sightseeing. Besides it didn't seem to stop the pommies who were out in force on the bank holiday.

After a nice breakfast and some retail therapy for the girls with budgets well and truly blown, three of us headed off for a walk with a vague plan as to where to go.

10.66kms later we returned home soaked, wet and cold. A missed turn left us having to continue on up to Easedale Tarn then turn around and come back down on the return path. But it was worth it. We saw some spectacular scenery and the walk is regarded as one of the great walks in the Lakes District which is why there were so many people doing it. So it was a good mistake. Easedale Beck flows from the tarn and into Sourmilk Gill (waterfall) and following this up to and from the tarn provided some special moments.Baca lagi
