Sky High in the Lake District.

Well not quite as high as the sky, but as high as you can get in the Lake District. From The lovely fishing town of Whitby we travelled across country to the beautiful Lake District and all the hype about it did not disappoint. We travelled down small country lanes with me on the imaginary brake if Phil was driving and I am sure him doing the same when I was driving. More worried about the £1000 excess on the car lol. The temperature today got to a balmy 27 degrees and thank goodness for air conditioning.
Saw these on our way and had to take a picture of the local wildlife until Phil reminded me they weren't local and there was nothing wild about them. But they sure did smell bad.
A derelict castle in Brougham pronounced Broom.
Needless to say no one lives here and no one was home today.
A view from the upper wall.
Not very exciting but these were everywhere, a dry stone wall.
See what I mean, they were everywhere.






These pictures sadly don't do the view justice, it was breathtakingly beautiful and quite wild.



Tonight we are in the lovely town of Selkirk which is just over the border of Scotland. Tomorrow we plan to visit Edinburgh with our friend who we are staying with.
