This morning I left home for the long trek to Buckle Yeat and was shocked by how warm it was, not long after we got to work the heavens opened and the thunder and lightning began, it went as dark as night the rain was torrential, a good test for the drains.



The electrical supply was a bit dodgy and at one point went off all together, brilliant I thought right on breakfast time, but luckily it came back on straight away, not so lucky in Hawkshead however, Matthew said they were off till after 10.15am.
After we finished this afternoon, the rain eased and we went a short walk to Esthwaite Water, the becks were in full spate
