5 August 2009 - Buttermere & Derwentwater

Having been watching the awful weather forecasts for the past 4 weeks, I finally saw an opportunity to spend a few more days in the Lakes. The plan was to camp at Buttermere, but with the persistent early morning cloud in the east spoiling what could have been some stunning sunrises I only stayed one night and took the opportunity for some walks at Crummock Water and Rannerdale before moving on.

A short stop off at Watendlath for a photo opportunity before I finally pitched tent again at the Castlerigg Farm campsite south east of Keswick. Some very early morning starts at Hawse End and Brandelhow on the western shore of Derwentwater and also at Castlehead and climbing Catbells allowed more shots to be taken.

Some of the photographs can be seen in the panel on the right. These and others can be viewed with more information about the photograph, and the ability to purchase, by following the links below:-
