Thursday was overcast and drizzling so we stuck to the local National Trust properties. These included Townend house, The Beatrix Potter Gallery and her home at Hill Top. After a quick foray into Ulverstone and a hike up Hoad Hill we headed back to Bowness for grub at Jackson's Bistro. Friday was our last day and I was determined to walk off at least some of the food we'd scoffed. With OS map in hand we followed a dozen or so pensioners out of Grasmere and lumbered up the hill to Easedale Tarn. Once up top we fended off ducks and gulls to eat our lunch before trundling back down (with most of our dignity intact) and headed home.
