Today was a beautiful sunny day in the lakes. We were already in Keswick so we headed down to Friars Crag on the shores of Derwent Water and then in the evening, walked up to Castlerigg Stone Circle.

And again looking upstream, with Latrigg just behind the trees.

The landing stage at Derwent Bay - very busy today!

Now up to Castlerigg Stone Circle.

It was busy up here, with at least 20 or so people. I managed to get this photo showing a large section of the circle with no-one in it.

A few people still on Latrigg.
