Our final full day today,so we headed out bright and early to complete a circular walk at our favourite location in the Lakes,Aira Force beside the stunning Ullswater.
On arrival it was a little cloudy with the sun breaking through.
We had a quick look at the lake after putting our gear on for the walk,took a few photos and then we were off.
It was just great to be back here again,somewhere we have visited three or four times before,but have never completed this walk.
It wasn't long before we were at the waterfall and we stopped to admire it and take some photos before heading through and along the woodland patch up to the series of rapids and small falls along Aira Beck.
This area was just lovely and the sunshine lit up the autumnal colours of the leaves on the trees beautifully.
Eventually we made it out of the woodland and out onto moorland and to the base of Gowbarrow Fell.
Some lovely views from here across to Ullswater and Blencathra with an amazing looking cloud inversion over it.
The walk up Gowbarrow Fell was a little steep and Tracey did really well,but when we got to the summit,the views were amazing.
After a short rest and a few photos,the path descends down the side of the fell and towards Ullswater.
The views along here were spectacular,looking across the Lake and towards Watermillock.
We just took in the views as we walked and took a lot of photos it has to be said and the woodland below just glowed in the sunshine.
Eventually we made it back to Aira Beck and the car park and enjoyed a well earned cuppa,before driving over to Glenridding for our lunch.
Well what a fantastic day,this walk has everything,Mountains,Lakes,Fells and Waterfalls and is a big 10/10 from us and our favourite walk we have completed away from our coasts,just brilliant!.
The following are some photos from this epic day.
