Lake District Holiday
Tuesday 26th June 2018
This morning we had a lie in to recover form yesterdays walkies. We decided to head into Ambleside to have a look around. There are loads of outdoors shops! I managed to find a new pair of climbing shoes as my current ones are getting a bit soft. We also visited one of the bakeries and the fudge shop!
We went back to the apartment for lunch and to have a think about what to do for the afternoon. It was another really hot day. We decided to go for a little walk, pub dinner and then a ringing practice.
We drove to the car park for Tom Gill Falls and did a walk just over 4 miles along Tom Gill falls, round Hows Tarn and a bit of the Cumbria Way to come back round Yew Tree Tarn back to the car. It was very hot and we both felt like we were getting burnt!
Back at the car and with the air con on we headed to he Red Lion pub in Hawkshead as they had a ringing practice tonight. Unfortunately as we got closer to the village we could see that the church tower was covered in scaffolding. We decided to go to the pub anyway and then have a walk over to the church to investigate afterwards. The food in the pub was very nice. Tim was pleased as they did proper pie and not just meat topped with a bit of pastry!!
We walked over to the church and saw there was a concert going on in there this evening so definitely no ringing. I went in and spoke to a gentleman about the bells and was told that there is currently no ringing. It was a shame but worth driving out there for the walk and pub! We decided o drive back via the Windemere ferry but unfortunately that is not running at the moment! We drove back the long way and had a relaxing rest of the evening.
