This is near the beginning of our 8 mile hike to Cats Bells peak. The lake below is called Derwent. The all season blooming bush gorse in the forground. |

The sheep keep the fields and hills looking manicured. |

our guide for the day, Esther, and Herb. |
 |
Each day we had a hard hike and an easy hike. The hard one today was on this ridge and peak about 1,200' more elevation over 8 miles. The easy hike was 600' elevation rise. |
 |
The lakes seemed quite pristine to me. |
 |
Many of the hikes went through working farms. |
 |
Andy was a fun easy going guide. The English sense of humer is a bit subtle but quite refreshing. |

 |
The stone fences were all maintained very well. |

The ewes were a bit scruffy. |
 |
The lambs are black when first born. |

A farmers milk cow. The double cream ice cream, cheese, and butter in this area was to die for. |
