A swim in Crummock Water

An evening swim on the warmest day of 2022 so far.

Route: leaving the still 3/4 full car park at Lanthwaite Wood (around 6:15pm) and walking round the shore, over the peel and to the stony cove at the far side for a swim. Afterwards, taking the path via High Park and Low Park and then the c-road to the Kirkstile Inn for a pint outside. Later walking back to the car along the road.

Conditions: the air temperature still around 29C but the water cold and cooler than Potter Tarn a week earlier all the sae.

Pub: the Kirkstile Inn for Cumbrian Ales Langdale
