Brackenthwaite How

To Cumbria, in better weather than on our last visit in May.  Foxgloves against drystone walls are a particular favourite.

 A recently developed walk takes you to the top of Brackenthwaite How, a viewpoint favoured by the Victorians.  It certainly gives  wonderful panoramic views without very much effort in the ascent.

Looking back down Crummock.

and across to Grasmoor.

We relocated a mile or so down the lake to Cinderdale Common, and took a short walk to the foot of Rannerdale for our lunch stop.

After lunch I decided to try following the footpath leading straight uphill to this series of waterfalls. 

 It must be spectacular after heavy rain.

A week's worth of knitting: a toddler cardigan in Aran weight.  This was fun to knit and looks very wearable.
