Windermere



Shehla, a girl who I work with, and I went on a spontaneous trip to Windermere in the Lake District for Halloween weekend. And why not!

We took the train up on the friday and arrived to a wet and windy Windermere at 9 o'clock. We had one or two keeping in mind our early start the next morning to hike and explore Windermere!

We rose early on the Saturday morning and had a great breakfast to set us on our way for the day. We hiked, well walked, up to Orrest Head which is a viewing point over Lake Windermere. It was a wet morning and the view was not the best but we made the most of it anyway, including horses, a donkey and a rambling chat with a stranger at the top!

After that we walked down to Bowness for a cup of tea and boarded a boat to Ambleside which is a little town north of the lake. We strolled around taking loads of photos and admiring the beautiful autumnal colours! :)

Few photos of our adventure below! (113 to be exact!)
