Walking Today
There was an excellent sunrise this morning that I watched through the patio windows of my lodge, which look out over the lake. I posted one of the early sunrise images as my “Photo of the Day”. Below is a later shot as the sky went pink.
I went for two shorter walks today. The first was along the coast near Barrow-in-Furness.
The second was up into the hills near Whicham.

Walking Today – Warton Crag
Rather than drive anywhere today I walked out to Warton Crag from the Pine Lake complex.
I traveled light today, carrying some water and a small first aid/emergency kit in my walking vest – the rest of my kit went into my coat pockets. For lunch I took some breakfast biscuits, some cold chicken from last night’s dinner and my small brew kit. I only carried my titanium mug with lid and a couple of solid fuel tablets and made a small fire place out of some stones to heat the water for my tea.
I also carried a small heavy duty plastic sheet to sit on and my hat and gloves.

Walking in the Lake District
The weather forecast was for heavy showers today so I planned a couple of short walks up near Thirlmere in between them.
One if the most useful gadgets I carry when walking is the dry bag for my iphone. With it I can take photos in really bad weather – although sometimes the quality of the image does drop with rain on the case or light catching on the extra plastic in front of the lens.
There is a sponge pad inside the case that helps squeeze the air out of the case and the small vacuum it causes pulls the plastic tight over the camera lens, which helps with image quality.
So here are some of my rain images from today – and one or two brighter ones.
