Lakes District
Had a big sleep. Was going to do a short walk but when we were about to start the rain came pouring in. Arun and I decided to stay at the hostel while Pete went around Rydal and Grasmere. (Although called the Lakes District, the area only has one "lake" — Brassenthwaite.) We had pumpkin soup and a sandwich for lunch when the weather improved.

We walk along the top of the wall around the fort. Just to stay out of the sheep *****. The wall in parts are still quite tall. In reality the fort was a bit of a disappointment.
