Ambleside in the English Lake District

A walk in the North
Ambleside
As we were up in the north we headed off to the Lake District for a short break. Really cold and damp though. We did get out for a walk in the hills above Ambleside which was great. Soon away from all the half-term traffic. The bike stayed firmly in the back of the car but its not an ideal place to drive around as the parking is so expensive. 
Lake Windermere
Even the sheep have to grow their hair long up here and the horses wear thick coats! Time for this pair of southern softies to head back south. Some say its grim up North. Stunning scenery though, when the mist clears. Another positive was that we won the quiz in the bar and came away with a nice Rioja.
