Is this a record - two consecutive sunny days in the Lake District? :) After yesterday's efforts doing the Fairfield Horseshoe, I was looking for something gentler and you could not wish for something better than a  walk around two of the Lakes' finest - Grasmere and Rydal Water. It's a rare trip to the Lakes that does not see me doing a variation of this walk, they are beautiful in any weather conditions and make an extremely pleasant few hours when its either too misty or dull to go up high or went you really just want an easier day as I did. I've lost count of the no. of times I've walked this route but I still love it.

This is Rydal Water with the lovely Nab Cottage (B&B) on the distant shore and my outward leg higher up the hill in the trees. I've been passed William Wordsworth house at Rydal Mount and now I'm heading towards Loughrigg terrace and Grasmere. In the distance is Silver How, with Sunday's summit of Helm Crag seen on the right.
