| Parked at the NT Aira Force car park (NT free) and followed the circular walk anti-clockwise to Gowbarrow Fell trig and nearby hp. Aira Force waterfalls very impressive with recent heavy rain. Blustery with occasional hail/rain showers. Some views S across Ullswater. With Gillian, Harriet and Mike. | richard69 | 29/12/2023 |
