Windermere photos
Ah Windermere and the Lakes District. Even nice in the rain, though after a while the rain starts to wear on you. It had practical impacts as well, forcing us off more difficult hikes due to the wind and lowering fog. One cabbie said he’d heard of hikers having to crawl around on hands and knees to make their way out.
But nevertheless we hiked, and I even had to express severe doubts to the wife about frolicking up to 2400ft given the fog rolling in and increasing rain.
Hiking, if you don’t do it, is a far more strenuous activity than you may realize, and that makes it fun and challenging, and you have to choose your level of difficulty carefully.
Here’s some photos from the hike and towns (Ambleside, Bowness-on-Windermere)…
…and so on…

That’s a building in Birmingham, and to the extent of my powers I figured it to be a mall and movie theater.
