Sun May 4th.Another week of unsettled weather though Tuesday morning, Friday afternoon and Saturday gave the best conditions. This morning we were woken around 6.30am by heavy rain and a thunderstorm that went on for more than an hour. Good thing that I had listened to the forecast and decided to make the most of the fine weather yesterday to take a walk. It's bank holiday weekend so Ambleside and the fells have been packed with people, however by making my usual early start I avoided most of this and did not meet another person during the first hour and a half of my walk. Fairly clear conditions too so plenty of pictures for a change.

A personally signed "Eyeonthelakes" CD of a selection of my walks is still available, it features more than fifty days on the hills and contains over 1000 pictures resized to 800 x 600 pixels for better viewing. The CD will cost £5 and is available from Fred Holdsworth's Bookshop on Rydal Road Ambleside. The CD is not intended as a walking guide but is just a personal record of enjoyable days on the hills.
