INDY SAYS: What a lovely warm sunny day! Finally out of the car for a stretch. A bit breezy on the top - it made my ears flap about...

We often stop in Latrigg for a stretch after the 6hour+ car journey. It marks our arrival in the Lakes and makes a lovely contrast to the driving. Views are good, it's breezy

An extra-long journey today with hold ups for roadworks between Scotch Corner and Penrith.
So once again we stop of at Latrigg for a stretch. It seems to be around 25°C today.

Indy 2 mins after leaving the car. Come on!

A good stretch required

View over Derwent Water, Robinson centre

Looking behind, the very clear Skiddaw path

Northern end of the mighty Helvellyn Range

Nice to be here again

Warm and sunny, but surprisingly wIndy on Latrigg
