The third and final day arrived and we all awoke at the right time - didn't we Matt?Well most of us did anyhow, and after another hearty breakfast we kept it local and climbed Orrest Head. Now this is nothing compared to the Gable or Scarfell etc… but it is not to be overlooked. The Panoramic view from here is sensational, you can see all the Mountains, Scarfell, Hellvellyn, the Old Man of Coniston etc..And the view of Windermere village and the Lake is phenomenal, especially at this time of year with the snowcaps and mist on the lake. Stunning!Honestly this may be the best view I saw in the long weekend. The funniest thing, may have been Mr. Bland getting trapped underneath a holly bush… JWe stayed in Windermere and Bowness all day, just to keep it local, walking down from Windermere to the lake and then a big circle back up. As we wanted to get a head start for the way back, we kept it quiet although we were out for a good 4 hours.Quiet but well worth it…It was lunch in the Lighthouse in Windermere and then home again - to cold miserable Hemel Hempstead where I now sit reliving the beautiful scenery in my mind. A great weekend with goiod friends and great to see the family again. Can't wait to get back, New Zealand eat your heart out!
