Kentmere

On Thursday I was up in the Lakes and walked the Kentmere Horseshoe, a 20km walk with 3000ft of ascent. A great walk taking in Kentmere Pike, Harter Fell, Mardale Ill Bell, Thornthwaite Crag, Froswick, Ill Bell and Yolk. After a showery start it brightened up into a lovely day but a little breezy, and all the way round I was serenaded by Skylarks.

Didnt have a long lens with me on this walk, this is the nearest i could get to one of the many Skylarks I saw and heard all the way round
