After several days of relentless rain in the Lake District . . . this was the start of a new day . . . with blue skies and calm water on Ullswater.
It was a memorable morning wearing Wellies, standing in the water and working to adjust the camera while trying to avoid moving my feet and disturbing the calm waters.

A day in the Lakes walking with muddybootsuk for a view from the summit of Fleetwith Pike, over to Haystacks and then down to Buttermere for a stop in at The Fish. While descending Fleetwith Pike MB spotted Warnscale Head bothy so we made a 'slight' detour to drop down to check out the bothy.
At the bothy the views were superb and we enjoyed relaxing while taking in the view. It was then time to ascend back up and return to the route to Haystacks . . . we eventually realized how far we had descended for this view as we climbed our way back up. MB's one work description of the climb was 'cruel' which I think is accurate and says it all!
A wonderful day in the Lakes . . . well, most of it! ;-) Looking forward to 2018.

Our third year in the Lakes and we've done a derivation of this walk every visit. Each visit the weather has been similar with a mix of clouds and dappling light with a bit of rain, sleet or hail pellets occasionally . . . just to keep it interesting.
Below, near the walk's starting point, is Blea Tarn House, on the right is Side Pike in the sunlight, and in the distance the Langdale Pikes.
This walk will definitely be on the agenda for our next holiday in the Lakes!
