3 Patrols

We have been busy in the past week doing three separate days of patrols for The Park.

Last Saturday we headed to Loweswater, looking across at Mellbreak (which we would walk around on Sunday)

Then a small matter of crossing this river, we had noticed there was no footbridge on the map, but assumed as it was a patrol route there would be one – wrong

We get across & are soon walking through this forest of bluebells

Again it’s another beautiful day
