Travelled Friday 2 June 2000

Arrived at Bowness on Windermere in time to buy lunch, cross Windermere by ferry and picnic on the quiet west shore of the lake.  Vital supplies were purchased at Keswick after booking into our holiday accommodation at Easedale.  Heavy rain set in preventing us from our planned barbeque on Silver How
