I found a great place to stop for lunch today.
These rocks are upstream from Rogie Falls.
The water for lunch and for drinking for the rest if the day came from the river – using my Travel Tap bottle. Yesterday I recommended this bottle to one of the people on the campsite, as a good way to save weight when walking – as long as there is natural water around this bottle will make it safe to drink, so you do not have to carry too much heavy water.
From Port Appin there is a walk out along the headland.
I took one of the side tracks, from the main path, and although I had to occasionally push through wet bracken taller then me I did get three excellent photos along this detour.

There are a variety of trails and walks near the campsite so I packed for a day walk and set off after breakfast.
This is “photo of the day”.

Coniston Water
Jeremy heading up into the cloud and onto the summit.
When we reached the summit there was no way we could camp there – like Richard and I did last year. What we should have done then was head home – but we thought we could find somewhere out of the weather to camp.! That however did not work out.
We did however have a great day in Lakes. We had an excellent walk to the summit of the Old Man of Coniston in good company. The variable weather gave plenty of good photo opportunities. And we all got home safely with a lot of wet kit to dry out!
There was a chance for one more photo before getting back to the car. There was a lull in the weather at just the right moment.
