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!
my goal this year to climb the 71 Cumbrian Marilyns
