We should have gone walking yesterday but the forecastec storm arrived early with 50 to 60 mile winds so we decided to stay indoors.
Today the weather was much better but with another storm due to arrive we decided to play safe and go for a walk around Grizdale Forest in the Lake District.

After seeing the number of trees that had fallen down after yesterdays storms we were glad we played it safe yesterday.

As a large part of the forest was closed due to storm damage we took a gentle stroll and ended up back at the visitor centre for a very tasty burger and coffee.

Grizdale Forest is a beautiful place with gentle walks for families and more adventurous walks up onto Carron Crag. There are mountain bike trails for all skill levels and a good bike and hire shop.
