We spent Saturday evening in Bowness which was very lively with a funfair and large parties of visitors exploring the town which appears to be the most commercialised of the holiday venues. There were many places to choose from to eat and the evening was nice and sunny, good enough to encourage us to take a drive to the southern end of Windermere, Lakeland which was stunning.
The next morning was damp but there was no stopping us from taking a trek up Orrest Head, a mile walk taking us to the summit of the first of Wainwright's walks. Maria needed carrying a few times but she enjoyed running around the trees and boulders. The views from the summit were somewhat obscured by the drizzle but it was interesting to see the cloud breaking to the east as it cleared the Lake District with grey clouds sweeping in from the west.
