We based ourselves at the Windermere YHA close to the lovely village of Troutbeck for some great walking and exploring over the weekend.
On Saturday we set out and headed over Wansfell Pike for some great views across Ambleside and the lake.
Then headed down into Ambleside and caught the ferry to Bowness. The final leg of our walk was up to Orrest Head and then across fields to the Hostel for tea and Scones.
On Sunday, we headed to Grasmere and made our way around the lake and below Loughrigg Terrace.
During the afternoon we made our way over Jenkins Crag.
And back to Troutbeck for a well earned dinner at the Mortal Man.
Our last day on the Bank holiday Monday we caught the ferry from Brockhole to Ambleside.
Headed up and over Todd Crag for views down Windermere.
Then headed to Skelwith for views of the spectacular waterfalls.
Our final leg took us to Wray Castle before catching the ferry back across the lake.
And then a final serving of tea with banana and walnut bread outside the hostel before heading back.
A wonderful weekend with wonderful people.
