Name of walk	Lanty's Tarn
Date of walk	2026-01-16

We were staying for two nights at The Inn on the Lake in Glenridding for my birthday. Yesterday we had walked to Lacey’s Caves and Long Meg and Her Daughters stone circle in good weather, today there was low cloud so I would meet up with Brendan later after a small walk up to Lanty’s Tarn. The start of the walk is just across from the hotel, down the lane beside the shops. It is well signed.

A few views from the grounds.

The jetty with Place Fell on the right.

Glenridding Dodd.

View back to the hotel.

Small bandstand, ensembles only!

Dinner had a different wine with every course.

Snow on the fells.

I would be meeting Brendan at Pooley Bridge later, in the meantime I headed up to Lanty's Tarn, which I haven't been to for ages and would be a suitable walk for low cloud.

Good views out to Ullswater.

The felltops were under cloud cover as I head up.

First view of the tarn.

No views of St. Sunday Crag.

I head back down to the bus stop opposite the hotel and catch the bus to Pooley Bridge. The walk has only taken an hour. There is better weather the north end of Ullswater.

Still poor to the south.

Duke of Portland Boathouse. I meet up with Brendan in a cafe and we have some lunch.

In the afternoon we have a walk to Aira Force and beyond.

Me and Mr. Happy.

Next day we visit Rheged, then Keswick, ending with a short walk down past Friars Crag. The weather was a bit dull. Derwent Isle.

Castle Crag in the middle.

A good birthday!
