I was fortunate to time my annual visit to Borrowdale before all the heatwaves consumed us and whilst the light wasn’t exciting I enjoyed exploring new places and revisiting some locations that I have neglected. These were namely, Tilberthwaite and Great Langdale. The Borrowdale woods were lovely as I walked through after rain so all the colours were beautifully saturated.

Borrowdale
I love my week in Borrowdale and whilst I’m not keen on relentless rain photography is a challenge with wall to wall sunshine. Early morning conditions weren’t conducive to providing mist on Derwentwater so I had to make do and just enjoy the hills.
May in Borrowdale
Leaving the caravan behind I recently enjoyed my annual trip to Borrowdale. In addition to my usual haunts I also travelled to Grasmere and had a rainy trip on the Ullswater Steamer. These are my favourite images from the week.
Winter in Borrowdale
I was gutted at the end of the second period of lockdown when I discovered that my much anticipated holiday on the Northumberland coast was cancelled due to the area being in Tier 3. However, I quickly realised that the Lake District was in Tier 2, (same as York), and so I could book a break there instead.
Cloud Inversion over Derwentwater
Whilst staying in Borrowdale I happened to wake up at 5.30am and noticed that there was a huge bank of cloud hanging over the valley and Derwentwater. I dressed and grabbed my camera bag and raced up to Kettlewell Car Park and Ashness Bridge to photograph the cloud as the sun burned it off the water.
