My profound lack of sense of direction has got me in some funny fixes over the years, but also led to some happy accidents. I took a wrong turn leaving Keswick, just as the sun was breaking through for the first time on my trip. To my surprise….I found an entire lake I wasn’t aware of. This shot is the banks of Bassenthwaite as sunbeams pierced the thick cloud. Magical place – so delighted I am completely clueless when it comes to which was it is up.
