TAKE A BREAK
THE NORTHERN LAKES - DAY 3


This was the third and final day of a short break in the northern fells of the English Lake District. The first day had been excellent, the second superb, but this, the third and final day was one of the finest I've spent on the fells.


It was a wonderful three days with no need to resort to our alternative wet weather plans. I've a particular liking for short break holidays, after a break like this I can hardly wait for the next opportunity.
