Yesterday we headed to the Lake District and Ullswater for our Thursday walk. Mike, Charlie and myself left Langholm at 9.15am to be in Pooley Bridge in time for the 11.05am Ferry to Howtown. We allowed plenty of time to get a parking spot and were lucky that we managed to get a spot, but in another 15 minutes or so they would all have been taken. A quick Coffee at the Ferry Pier and then 25 minutes on the boat to Howtown. It was almost full with visitors and their dogs.
Ullswater from the Ferry. The sun never got out all day and at times we had a few spots of rain, but it was always very warm.
Mike and Charlie on the Ferry.
Once we were off the ferry we left all the people behind and soon we were walking along the side of the lake and maybe a couple of hundred feet above the lake level. This was a mountain stream that came through a small gap in the drystone dyke.

Plenty of drystone dykes.
A very interesting and high stone stile in the dyke. Mike as usual leading the way.
The very small gate on the other side of the stile.
An interesting little valley we passed by on our walk.
