ullswater – Graeme Skinner

First visit

We had a wander this morning to look for a stone circle we’ve never visited before, we tried to find it years ago and completely missed it (but then we didn’t have a map or a phone with us ;-)). Luckily we found the Cockpit Stone Circle quite easily this time, was a bit strange visiting it on a busy day for walkers/cyclists/horse riders and for no one else to pause and look at the stone circle.

Time…

Time being what it is, in short supply and something that vanishes in the blink of an eye, I was rather pleased to find a few minutes to take the camera for a jaunt down Ullswater way.

Quick trip

We had a quick trip out yesterday, down the side of Ullswater and over Kirkstone Pass. It made a nice change to get out with the camera, I could almost remember how to use it

Ullswater & Blencathra

Our early morning wander ended with a drive down to the side of Ullswater as the light was looking nice

Later on we watched the light change on Blencathra and I managed a couple of photographs worth printing out…

In Reflection

In reflection it was a pleasant morning to have a trip around Ullswater. The reflections on the outward journey from Pooley Bridge were excellent, it’s not often you see the lake with reflections so perfect…

Down by the lake (again)

We had another run down to Ullswater this morning on our way to buy bird food, not a obvious route but it worked out fine

We popped down to Ullswater this morning to catch the morning mist, but we missed it I took a few photographs instead…

We had a run down Ullswater way fairly early on as the weather looked good and with it being a Sunday the roads would soon get busy, it was lucky we did set off early as the reflections were looking particularly clear.

We then continued on to Hallin Fell for a wander.

And of course Hugo was happy to be out in the Fells again

I missed the mist

Graeme Skinner — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 15:29:52 +0000

I set off early this morning after dropping Julie off at work and went in search of some mist filled valleys. For a bit of a change I headed towards Ullswater but the mist wasn’t inspiring (or even there in some places) so I took a quick shot of a duck coming in to land then moved on.

Undecided which way to go I headed off towards Martindale as it was a long time since I’d been that way and went for a wander up a fell

A quick run out

We decided to have a quick run down by Lake Ullswater, the light wasn’t brilliant, but it was still worth the trip out
