The Vale of Keswick, provides separation from the Northern Fells whilst to the west runs the long valley of Borrowdale. The parallel eastern boundary is created by Thirlmere and the St Johns in the Vale. Grasmere to Windermere forms the remainder of the eastern boundary. In the west, Stake Pass descends into Great Langdale.
Due to the high wind forecast and heavy rain showered and the need to return to our car in Grasmere. We drank a pint of tea and munched food at the YHA whilst watching a stream of drowned rats come in from the rain.
