A short stroll with Mike Hornby followed by a swim.Route: leaving the car on the east side of the road just south of Bowscale farm and taking the track that rises slowly first north and trending west (as the road zigzags east) and following this as it trends upwards and westwards to the tarn. Then walking (possibly the wrong way) clockwise round the tarn on rather wet and marshy ground to find a steeper ingress for a swim. Then heading uphill to find a better track back to the main tarn track.
Conditions: sunny and cloudy. Warm enough to swim despite the cold water.
Pub: the Mill, Mungrisedale for Robinsons Dizzy Blonde, Trooper, and Robohop and lunch, joined by Janet.
