A swim at the end of - probably - the hottest day of 2022.Route: leaving the car at the defibrillator short of the Kirkstile Inn and walking over fields past Gillerthwaite and Muncaster House and then down a green track towards the pumping station but, after a bridge, bearing right and then right again round the inside of the peel to swim at the stony beach. Afterwards, walking past High Park and Low Park to the Kirkstile Inn for a pint and then back to the car.
Conditions: the unpleasant heat had been partly relieved by a breeze and the swim took place without sun and in gusty conditions, though still 28C.
Pub: the Kirkstile Inn, Loweswater, for Cumbrian Ales Langdale.
