Whinlatter Forest

Yesterday afternoon we drove up to the Lakes in our little van.  We decided to camp at Santon Bridge and go and meet Ed in the pub there, which is near to his cottage.

We had a really enjoyable night in the pub with Ed and a few of his friends (although they left early) and Ed asked if I would like to join him and Dave for a run in Wasdale in the morning.  We had gone up to the Lakes so Duncan could go mountain biking so I wanted him to decide what he wanted to do.  Eventually, Duncan agreed that it would be nice to have a ride around Wasdale so we thought we would meet Ed and Dave the next morning at 9.30.

Unfortunately, we didn't even wake up until 9.00 after ignoring our 8.00 alarm so there was no chance of us getting to the meeting place in time.  Sorry Ed, hope you had a good run, it was a lovely morning for it!

We ended up driving to the trail centre at Whinlatter so Duncan could ride there.  We didn't even get there until almost midday so it was really busy but Duncan still seemed to enjoy himself.

Ruby and I ran a couple of the waymarked trails through the forest, which were really nice.  We saw a deer on route which I tried to take pictures of but they didn't come out terribly well.




We then ran up to the highest point in the forest and took more piccies...







Total distance - 5.4 miles
