A swim at Potter Tarn

A post-lunch stroll to a swim, with Kathryn and Alex, on a hot summer afternoon.

Route: leaving the car on the back road to Staveley, a little to the north of Hagg Foot and heading west along the road and then right uphill to Sidefoot and along the green track beyond the waterfall. Taking the right hand turn up the fell to Potter Tarn for a swim. Descending via Ghyll Pool and the overgrown path to Hundhowe and then to the road.

Conditions: a hot, still summer afternoon. The water: not cold.

Pub? Beforehand, the Watermill Ings for lunch and Windermere Golden Retriever.
