A Trip to Pooley Bridge
13/03/2026 to 15/03/2026
| A special weekend when I was invited to join Paul and Jeanette for a trip to the Lake District in their motor home. Travelling to Pooley Bridge the campsite was found overlooking Ullswater. The next day we were very fortunate that the wind had dropped and the sun was shining. We walked into Pooley Bridge where there was time for lunch before catching the steam boat to Howtown. Walking back along the road we reached a lakeside footpath to take us back to the campsite. The next day saw the weather return to wind and rain but that didn't affect our activites as we were heading back home. A great weekend with many thanks to Paul and Jeanette for their generous hospitality and time. |

As the jetty comes into view it looks like the ferry hasn't arrived yet
Making our way along Ullswater . . .
it's difficult to identify the fells . . .
on each side of the lake . . .
and in the distance
Thankfully there is still some blue sky . . .
Looking back as we approach our destination . . .

the motor home is perfectly placed
