Walking Upper Tarras

On another beautiful spring day I went onto the Tarras valley Nature Reserve in upper Tarras just to top up my daily mileage and to see if their were any Goats about. I had only walked half a mile up the road to Cooms when this Kid appeared and never moved when I stopped to take its photo.
Do you ever get the feeling you are being watched.
I had been up this way on Monday when the river was a raging torrent, but today it was much lower and looking quite lovely. 
An ideal pool for swimming, but not for a few months yet.
The road near Arkleton Cottage and where I had a seat for 20 minutes on Jim Telford's seat just listening to the river and the birds. The only passers by were a couple of cyclists and a motor biker.
Another good pool for bathing.
This is a very popular spot for picnickers in the summer

A lovely stretch of river and road
The two families of Goats, not at all bothered by my presence. I had a most enjoyable 90 minutes sitting and walking in the almost warm sunshine. A great way of spending some time in lovely surroundings.
