The plan today was to get up and go do one of my favourite shorter walks in the Lake District, and shop in town on the way back home.

I was at the Aira Force car park shortly after 8, practically the only car there. In the course of the 2 hours I saw a couple walking dogs, a National Trust worker and a fellrunner. Beautiful silence; light cloud.

It was a pleasant change to park at the supermarket, go round the supermarket and get straight in the car and go home.

In this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YzAnoyZGwpo the couple go up a very steep path which is officially closed; I chose the main route and did not go and play in the stream afterwards!
