Tue. 3rd June. 9th Day UK.

A walk to Braithwaite and a climb up Barrow 1494' (455 m.) We stopped outside Prospect House where Phil's parents had spent their honeymoon in 1955.

Paula & I on top of Barrow, Derwentwater & Keswick behind,

Meal at the Pack Horse Inn that evening - mine was pork escalope with black pudding!

To the Lake District, but dropped in to see Hugh, who was with us in Tibet, on the way.
