Easter - Wind and Snow

The bank holiday weekend brought us a mix of weather. First we had tremendous gales that shook the site on Friday night. We could feel the lodge trembling at times and the people with a tourer beneath this tree must have been rather thankful that it fell away from them during the night!

On Saturday we had few flurries of sleet and a pretty hard hail storm whilst we were out doing the Ing Bridge walk.

You can see the hail moving in here as we are leaving the park. It really stings your face as you walk into a North wind carrying these tiny but sharp balls of ice

We woke up on Sunday morning to 4 inches of snow which transformed the park into a beautiful, white landscape.

Here is Troutbeck from the bridge



This is Windermere Lodge at about 6:30 a.m.

I got up early so that I could get the picture without too many tyre tracks and footprints!

Here is the Easter bunny
that we made

















and here is the River Pool looking towards Troutbeck.

What an ACE weekend we had!
