Lake District Holiday 2021

Lake District June 2021 I had only ever visited the Lake District once before. That was when we were staying in a friends cottage to break up the trip back from NW Scotland. We did spend a pleasant day driving around part of it and having a nice walk just north of Ullswater. My daughter and her partner were coming with us and we'd booked a Jenkinson's Cottage close to Loweswater The trip up wasn't to bad even though it poured with rain for half the journey but during the course of our weeks stay it was dry for most of the the week apart for a bit of drizzle on the Tuesday and first thing on Thursday. Otherwise the week was a mix of sunshine and patchy cloud and the occasional period of high cloud, which was normally just beyond the area I'd chosen to concentrate on. I had been given some tips from a friend that walks her dogs in the park. These turned out to be very useful. The one location that I wanted to visit was St Bee's Head, a seabird colony a 30 minute drive
