Rydal Water 4 Looking north east from the south side of Rydal water back towards Rydal with Nab Scar basking in sunshine behind. As mentioned in the previous image paths are being widened into something resembling motorways!!! This path which leads from the rocks mentioned before used to a typical Lakeland track about 3 feet wide, roughish but a pleasure to wander along. Once again I suspect it has been done to suit the coach trippers that stop near White Moss for a couple of hours, but I suppose they are the ones that spend the money in the shops!!! So they must be looked after!! 22-7-14 This picture appears in the following picture tour: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 500D |

Rydal Water 3 Looking west along Rydal Water with Silver Howe in mid distance. You can just see orange and yellow on the very left which is workmen 'ruining' the nature of the walk alongside Rydal Water. What used to be a choice, depending on height of water, between a gentle scramble over a small rocky outcrop or a shallow paddle round the rock, is now being transformed into 10 ft path around the rocks. Another picture was taken later in the week so may appear in due course. I have not heard anyone yet who agrees with it but can only assume it has been done to make life easier for the Japanese tourists who like to walk round the area in their 'Sunday best' certainly not sensible fell clothing. 22-7-14 This picture appears in the following picture tours: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 500D |

Herdwicks at Rydal Water Herdwick sheep are the native breed of the Lake District and live on the highest of England’s mountains. They are extremely hardy and are generally found running freely on the fells. These chaps however were in a field bordering the southern shore of Rydal Water. Every photographer should have one in their kit bag as they are as close to a metering grey card as you will ever find. They also produce very tasty meat and to quote a local farmer from the Langdale Valley 'Our lamb is not mass-produced, factory farmed or force fed but slow matured – it is ready, when it is ready' This picture appears in the following picture tour: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 500D |
