Highest point in England


This is it! The top of Scafell - the highest point in England. 978m. Not particularly lofty by world standards. But it had it's head in the clouds the day I visited. So this was the view....

Lake District

I bought a new woodworking tool on Ebay, which I had to pick up in Bolton, so used this as an excuse to go walking in the Lakes for a couple of days. It rained for the first two nights and day. I was sleeping out, so that was pretty hard, but managed not to get too wet. I stayed mainly in the valleys on the first day to keep out of the clouds. Then headed for higher ground on the second when the weather cleared a bit. Here I am on top of Glaramara with Derwent Water in the background.
