Our final day. Enough was enough. It wasn’t really a day of holiday, because it was a day of driving home.

Barf is a moderately sized hill at Whinlatter with a very entertaining name and a spectacular view from the top.

The family were all over the place today. I went geocaching in Penrith and the ladies went hillwalking and rented a pedalo.

Aira Force is on the list of mandatory things when visiting the Lake District, much like walking in Langdale and drinking tea.

An afternoon spent walking with alpacas on the forestry estate up at Whinlatter. It was a fairly gentle activity.

A trip to the Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum, because we weren’t up for another day of walking, but wanted something to do.

Legging it up the Langdale Pikes. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve done the first part of this walk, but we added one more.

A trip to the uphill end of Buttermere to visit some infinity pools and take a dip in some absolutely freezing water

An afternoon spent legging it up Helm Crag and Gibson Knott – two relatively moderate-sized fells above Grasmere.

A day trip from Ambleside to the National Trust property at Wray Castle, on the western shore of Lake Windermere.

Our first attempt at climbing a Wainwright on this holiday – Baystones is a moderate-sized hill accessible from Ambleside.

The first full day of our holiday. We decided to have a rest from driving and just spend the day in Ambleside.
