The ever-present rain

Emma's come up to join me this weekend and Wales' drizzle has followed her all the way. Still, she didn't come up to the Lake District to sit in coffee shops all day so we headed out for this simple short walk.

It's just a couple of miles from Grasmere up to Easdale Tarn but you quickly leave behind the tea and trinkets of the tourist trail. The wind chill dissuaded lingering and a mist shrouded the hills so there wasn't much of a view either.

But still: a good little walk, a great way to spend a few hours.
