Lovely wander around the tranquil island of Iona today.
I know people bang on about how incredible the light is here but it’s true!

Sought out the seclusion of Ennerdale for today’s hike. Cold, clear waters to keep the dogs cool, plus plenty of shade from the woods.
Stunning views of the majestic Pillar on one side of the valley and the equally impressive High Stile on the other.
Definite Yosemite vibes!

Optimised today’s hike for coolth with a circuit round Dodd Wood. Great views across Braithwaite Water to the Derwent and Borrowdale fells.
Ultra vivid blues and greens from the early morning light and a very pleasant temperature under the canopy of the woods.

There’s a blistering heatwave in the UK so today’s hike around the ancient temperate rainforest above Derwent Water provided a cooling sanctuary from the scorching temperatures.

Lovely early evening walk in Grasmere.
Flowery meadows, a pair of grey herons, Helm Crag and Steel Fell in the distance and a visit to the (famous) Swan Inn. There was a chap playing an acoustic set in the beer garden at the foot of Stone Arthur. Which was nice!

Perfect Fathers Day jaunt around the Coniston fells.
Weather and scenery were top drawer all day. Views of the Isle of Man to the west, and Nine Standards Rigg to the east.

Great day for hiking up Haystacks.
Stupendous panoramic views at the top. Helvellyn, Great Gable, Scafell Pike and Pillar all visible, as well as the Irish Sea and Scottish coastline.

I’m getting anti World Cup vibes from the Daly Mail’s TV guide. On the day the tournament kicks in proper, the Ireland vs Scotland cricket match is their “pick of the day” 🤣
