Grey and drizzly - what to do. Low level, Elterwater, let's look at some rivers...
Plenty of parking in Elterwater village - there's a National Trust car park near the bridge, and several other smaller ones.
We parked just outside the village and walked through it, noting the tea room for use on our return. (OK, that's the pub, the tea room is just behind the point where this photo was taken).
The bridge over Great Langdale Beck in Elterwater.
From the bridge, we take the Cumbria Way path eastwards, towards Elterwater (the lake - it can get confusing when a body of water has the same name as a village).
The river flowing out of Elterwater is the River Brathay, here heading towards Skelwith Bridge...
...via some waterfalls. There is a good path alongside the river.
The bridge at... well... Skelwith Bridge. Tea shop and pub here if anyone is tired after just over 2 km...
After Skelwith Bridge we took a little road steeply up from the junction, then followed footpaths north eastwards towards Fox Ghyll.
You can tell it's often very damp around here...
High altitude mountain clouds (OK, altitude approx 100 m!)
