Day 3 – evening walk to Foulney Island
Foulney Island is located to the south-east of Barrow, and east of the better known Roa Island and Peel Island. It is connected to the mainland by a long embankment. I’d not been before, so this was a walk of exploration, but also an opportunity to try to photograph some wildlife with the big camera.

An interesting little outing, and reasonably successful experiment with the camera too.
Day 4 – Helvellyn from Glenridding
The fourth and final day in the Lake District is more overcast but waiting till the middle of the day saw the low cloud lift. My fifth visit to Helvellyn explored two routes (up and down) from Glenridding that I hadn’t used before.
