Wainwright's Way Stage 2

  Walk 1 Windermere to Patterdale 29th June We couldn't have picked a worse day weather wise, as it rained almost all day and with very low cloud and mist there were hardly any views of the Lakeland landscape we were walking through which was a great shame.  We set off from Windermere all togged…
