Easter Week - The Lakes

I wanted to hit the Lakes for Easter weekend but as my football allegiance was taking me to Kendal on Easter Monday, I decided to continue after the football and spend the week on the Solway. (My dad has a house about 5 miles outside Maryport which makes a good base.)

Yet another fine example of dry stone walling.

Looking back towards Stonethwaite.

Beth nearly manages a smile!

Views across the Borrowdale Valley. (I think)

Just a short stroll along the side of the beach today aiming to reach a rather nice cafe at Mawbray Hayrigg. Unfortunately, it was such a nice day that half of the Solway seemed to have the same idea!
