Place Fell, Ullswater [FE]

A trip to Patterdale to take in Place Fell and the lakeside walk along the SE shore of Ullswater.
We hadn't planned on High Dodd, but once at the sheepfold it is less than 5 minutes up a short slope.

A fairly straightforward ascent from Boredale Hause to Place Fell

Indy realises that she is going to have a swim, in her excitement she races ahead.
She has to be patient because for most of this lakeside walk the lake is tantalisingly out of reach.

Walking through the woods

And the usual, of course
