Rain and wind

The forcast for today was pretty dire. We knew we had to get out early, so we tramped around some paths first thing. We timed the walk to arrive at the Wensleydale cheese factory as it opened and spent a good time looking at their mixture of cheese past, cheese present and Wallace and Gromett.

Then we checked out of the Inn and headed to the Lake District. The further West we went the worse the rain. So when we stopped in Ambleside for lunch it was really bucketing down and the rivers were churning.

A Cumberland sausage later we headed on around Coniston with water streaming down the roads, having to take it carefully. It only really cleared up as we came to Bootle over on the West coast. As the low sun came out from behind the clouds we just had to stop and take another photo.

We arrived at Moor End as the sun set and had a lovely dinner with Marion, Andrew, Christian, Katy, David and Jenna.
