I sent Pete on to check out the crossing. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=120916865 120916865 Thumbs up from Pete who was getting his camera ready to catch me take a tumble.

It was a warm day all round but even now at 4pm in March was wonderfull. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=120916869 120916869 We picked up the permitted path on the Lakeside back to the car park. Nice little footbridge here which reminded you of the buildings below the water. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=120916870 120916870 Another walker joined us on the Corpse Road path and chatted back to the car park. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=120916871 120916871 I wish I had brought my better camera with me but even with this one the effect of reflections can be seen. https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=120916872 120916872 https://raybradshaw.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=120916891 120916891 Back at the car park after six hours.
