In an attempt to avoid the Bank Holiday crowds we set off for Ulswater and parked in Glenridding. We headed up Glenridding Beck and walked up to the bridge where we got a fabulous view of the lake. There are some great names in the lakes. Where else could you walk under "Lucy's Tongue".
When we got home it was time to stroll up to the Mortal Man where the new owner, Nigel Parkin, was laying on a barbeque. We enjoyed some very upmarket salads and burgers, but we probably shouldn't expect less from the man who put The Samling on the map. He is trying really hard with the place and I really hope that he is successful there. He certainly has the right raw materials with the magnificent building, a superb family beer garden and a view to die for.(I think that's a pint you owe me Nigel)
