Fell Walking and Stone Circles

When we left Thwaite Howe for Keswick the skies were clouded over but no sign of rain yet. We parked in the town center and decided to risk a fell walk in the hopes that the rain would hold off until later in the day. However, as we made our way out of town a drizzle set in which alternated with a full on rain as we made our way up the rocky and winding trails. The views of Derwentwater and the fells were lovely and must be spectacular when not half hidden by rain clouds. Eventually we made our way to the Castlerig stone circle at which point the rain had stopped and patches of blue sky and sunlight could be spotted intermittently. We enjoyed wandering around the stones and taking in the view before continuing on our trek heading back into town by a different path.
