Buttermere Shapes

A day around Honister, Buttermere and Crummock Water.  We'd had some snow on tops overnight and I did take care as I drove up to Honister Pass.

I decided a walk around Buttermere was in order, especially as the forecast suggested the morning would be the drier part of the day.  What I hadn't factored in was the strength of the wind and if you check the extras you'll see that water doesn't just fall from the sky!

Lunch at the Fish Inn and a little bit of nostalgia ordering the same meal I ate 9 years ago on an evening in the village while walking the Lake District Haute Route.  It was just as good as I remember.

After lunch I had to take a detour passed Crummock Water to get to Keswick.  It did allow me a few minutes in Lanthwaite Woods and on the shore side of the water.  Watching the water whipped into vortices and travelling towards me was very elemental.

Finally, following a conversation with one of the hotel staff, I found out where my rescuer from 2 years ago lives.  I popped into Keswick, bought a bunch of flowers and delivered it, much to her surprise.
