Up towards Helvellyn, this is the Coast to Coast route to Patterdale. Views of Seat Sandal. Grisedale Hause (the Gap before Grisedale Tarn), Fairfield and Great Rigg.

This is our view of Helm Crag from the top of the How at Thorney How, overlooking our roof line.

First autumn colours appearing in the garden.

Cumbria has weathered heavy winds and rain over the last few days.

See weather warning in the Westmorland Gazette

I got a chance to take a look around the grounds yesterday to check for any damage.

We have some tree damage and the whole site is waterlogged, much like the rest of the Lake District.
