Last Wednesday 3 inches of rain fell in two hours & it left it’s mark around here. When it seemed to have stopped we took Crag out (wearing wellies). The line is flooded beyond the bridge
Further along & The Keekle has burst it’s banks & flooded the surrounding field
We realise it is starting to get dark again and another shower is on it’s way so we turn around and head back
The pond is spilling onto the path
The garden has plenty of puddles on it
Shortly after we get home we have another hail shower
Today however was lovely so we decided to walk around Ennerdale Water
There was very little wind making beautiful reflections in the lake
Two canoes are on the lake
We don’t think the dog can swim!!
What we didn’t know was there was a fell race on today so we had to stop a lot to let the runners past. There was a 10k, 25k & 50k course, the two longer courses did a loop of the valley to Black Sail (twice on the 50k route) & the 10k route just did what we were walking today. According to the website there were 220 runners
It was warm enough to strip down to shorts
We had a lovely few hours & it was nice to be out in the sunshine
