Clumber Park

After delivering a staff training session in Nottingham, I stopped off at Clumber Park for lunch and captured the beautiful autumn colours in the pictures below.

Bowscale Fell & Bannerdale Crags

On Saturday 11th October, ten of us from the Wainwright Society had a most enjoyable walk from Mungrisdale village between Penrith and Keswick and climbed two of the Northern Fells, Bowscale Fell (2,303 feet) and Bannerdale Crags (2,241 feet).

Below are pictures from the day's walk with various sub-titles throughout.
