GLW2203
: A Tarn Hows Round
Thursday
27th January
2022
We
must be getting old. We're getting
to the "Let's go for a drive"
stage rather than "Let's go for a walk".
I think we are at the half-way stage.
Perhaps we need a dog?
Today
it was "Let's go for a drive and a
short walk in the Lakes. We'll take
a picnic."
So
we did. We drove to the car park above
Tarn Hows where you can actually see the
view We had a front row seat so out
came the flask and sandwiches.
A
brisk walk around the tarn was the plan
so we moved the car to the main car park
and set off clockwise.
There
were quite a few people about. Not
so many as to make it feel overcrowded but
quite a few. Some with young children.
Many with dogs.
Clearly
the storms did a lot of damage to the surrounding
trees. The National Trust woodsmen
have been kept very busy clearing the path.
However some of the fallen trees had
clearly dropped some years ago as new growth
had shot up since.
The
Old Man of Coniston had his head in the
cloud. Wetherlam was clear.
It
was a pleasant outing. Weather was
OK. A bit chilly and not quite as
sunny as expected but perfectly acceptable
for the time of year. Add in the journey
down the west side of Coniston and it definitely
counts as going for a drive and a walk.
Great
Little ones in both cases
