From the Bowder stone we started making our way up to the bustling town of Cockermouth. Our route took us through the infamous Honister pass. The steep and winding roads did make me question weather the car would make it up the hills but as we wound through the pass we saw the Honister Slate Mine and some very steep and craggy fells. Many of the building and footpath in the area are made with the local slate which has an amazing blue hue to it, especially when it is wet. As we drove through the pass we could see swathes of blue where slate rubble had collected.
