From our new campsite in Patterdale, we alternated wee hills and lake side walks then the weather forced us to take a break. Initially we went back to Catbells to walk along a high path for views followed by a shore path on Derwent Water for lunch. The next day we tackled Barrow, and then finally we walked along the east side of Ullswater.

Brockhole visitor centre was an excellent wet weather option, mainly because it was largely dry, with an excellent playpark and grounds to explore. On our final full day we walked up and down around Aira Force, before having some beach time.

Today started in thick, wet mist at Brothers Water, but the cloud was starting to lift as we packed up, and our early lunch stop in Halton was hot and sunny. We hope the good weather in Repton continues as we have rather a lot of washing and drying to do…
