I had a few days between a training course and a wedding so where better to go than the Lake District. The first two days were pretty wet but the third day... |

...fantastic sunshine. Not what you expect in November in the Lake District. I wore shorts for most of the day. | |

Setting off to climb Great Rigg, this is the view from Heron Pike of Rydal water and Grasmere. As with all the pictures, they look better in a larger version. Click on the images to enlarge them. | |

From the top of Great Rigg, looking back along the ridge that I climbed - with Windermere in the background. | |

This picture was taken at the top of the glacial valley (the glaciers left about 10,000 years ago though there was still some snow). The scene is a little like Sinai - just a little wetter and greener. | |

Yes, I know I'm cute. Prince Charles is trying to encourage more people to eat mutton to support upland farmers. Mutton is a very tasty meat and it also means that cute sheep like this can run around for a few years before ending up in the oven. Check out a website called Mutton Renaissance. | |
