I think Laetitia was fairly pleased with herself today – she’d fancied doing “Dream” for ages, but for reason (hordes of people on the route) or another (good weather and me wanting to go somewhere else) we’d not got round to it. But today, expecting good weather we headed to Wen Zawn to try something …
Dave and Laetitia at our faux monument We’ve lived in the Kentmere valley for years and have never walked up to the interestingly named Williamson’s Monument… Today (after a morning of yet more rain and some essential gardening chores) we (Dave E, Laetitia and Pete) took the opportunity to walk up to the “monument”.

Black Darter Dragonfly While Laetitia and I were are Warton Quarry today I got a chance to get really close to and photograph this Black Darter (Sympetrum danae) dragonfly. 🙂 Well, I’m pretty sure it’s a Black Darter – I’m no dragonfly expert! 😕 Correction; it’s a Common Darter, see comments below…

Not dancing, not singing and not even “Minging in the Rain” this time! Today it was Dave’s turn to put Gene Kelly to shame… …with a bit of Swinging in the continuing Lakeland monsoon!
Enjoying the great second pitch of Thirlmere Eliminate “The weekend looks set to be wet again.” says Ian, “Lets get out Friday evening if it stays dry…” We choose one of our favourite roadside crags, Castle Rock, to meet and I choose Thirlmere Eliminate for the four (Anna, Ian, Laetitia and I) of us. It’s …
