Spring in London, winter in the Lakes

Trevor, plus geeky hat, joins me as official photographer on a short day trip to the Lake District.

It was spring when I left London but it is still winter in Patterdale, and even Trevor's photographic skills cannot disguise the grey skies.  We climb 2 Wainwright's.  Despite the grey clouds the views are spectacular.

There are a few other walkers about so it is great to see a herd of at least 13 red deer hinds grazing only about 200 feet below the main path, unconcerned by the passers by above. Maybe the deer feel safe from us humans due to the startlingly steep slopes on which they are feeding.
