Yet more sunshine and so even more pictures, we had to take the car into Hawkshead for a couple of new tyres, we left the car at the garage and walked up behind the church up vicarage lane and into Grizdale Forest.We walked on the forest roads to High Cross and on to Tarn Hows, a 5 minute rest with a flask of coffee and back down to Hawkshead via Rose Castle.
