Wandering around the Keswick area

A spare day as all the decorating is now complete and just awaiting the arrival of the carpet next week. I needed to shop for a present so for a change I decided to go to Keswick and visit a couple of locations that I have been wanting to visit,  Tewet Tarn and Castlerigg stone circle, whilst in the area.

Started with a leisurely walk to Friars Crag for the ubiquitous shot looking down Derwent Water with the bench. I then completed my shopping task and after a coffee in Java I drove first to Tewet Tarn. No reflections today as there was a bitingly cold northwesterly but the backdrop of Skiddaw and Blencathra is stunning, see extras. I rounded off the day by visiting the stone circle. There were a few people there  but I managed to avoid the by positioning them behind the stones - see extras.

Memo to self ... when heading out with the camera in the winter months take gloves and wear thermal pants. It was really very cold.
