We stayed two nights at Haweswater and woke to this next morning
I overdid it that day... we walked 4 miles further than intended and my knee had had it by the time we got back to the car.
We went to Swindale. This valley is being “rewilded” in a project between the water company and the RSPB to try to prevent flash floods because the water runs off the hills too quickly due to land drainage for farming. In just 3 years, nature is fighting back. Otters, red deer and red squirrels can be seen (we didn’t see the otters) and many birds and plants.
Fortunately, some painkillers, red wine and sleep settled my knee
