Scroll down for photos and a description of the walk....

Scotgate Campsite

One of my favourite "out of the tent" views - Grisedale Pike from Braithwaite. Today, Molly and I will be heading over to Loweswater to meet another puppy and his family.


Dylan	Harry

Over at The Hileys, Loweswater, Dylan and Harry await our arrival. Dylan is a couple of weeks younger than Molly and they soon engage in puppy play on the lawn.

Crummuck Water

It's peak season at Rannerdale with the bluebells in full bloom. We park at Crummock Water and take the direct route up the Knotts. I have quite deliberately chosen not to show any bluebell photos, it's all a bit samey, me-too, look at "my" bluebell pics - you know what I mean!

My third time up RK and each time by a different route, how exciting is that?

Ears

Molly & Dylan

All ears, the puppies are paying attention and having a great time on the ascent. There was a competitive edge to the sheep-poo eating, Molly edging it, I think.

Low Bank	Shemozzle

A sheepless descent along Low Bank allowing the puppies to play.

Rannerdale

We walk down the side of Squat Beck and around the front of Rannerdale Knotts, passing hoardes of Bluebell Enthusiasts and back to the car. A very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.
