a really wet day around Portinscale


upstream from Portinscale bridge - the River Derwent is usually just left of the fenceline


downstream from Portinscale bridge - the river course usually left of the fence ..


.. and this is not a river but the path to Keswick and a layby usually full of school buses


not far into the grounds of the Derwentwater Hotel we meet the current foot of Derwentwater ..


.. and this is the other end of what is usually a pleasant through path


the path to Derwentwater foot
- the circle marks an almost submerged signpost - just out of the water in yesterday's pictures


the ducks are happy though


flooded fields between Portinscale and Ullock


the path to Ullock - still raining


looking down on the road and bridge into Portinscale ..


.. now only feasible for 4WD or high vehicles - looks as if we are trapped!
