Had a great day out with friends and bubblers Gary Kenyon Shaun Whiteman and Ben the dog on Tuesday 8th February up in the lake district national park in Cumbria, England.
Left Blackpool at 0520 and got up to Gummers How for the crack of dawn, this was taken on the way back down to the car park with views of lakeside and the south end of Windermere.

Info on Gummers How from Wikipedia :
Gummer’s How is a hill in the southern part of the Lake District, on the eastern shore of Windermere, near its southern end. How, derived from the Old Norse word haugr, is a common local term for a hill or mound.
Although a relatively small hill (321 metres above sea level) by the standards of the Lake District, it is the highest of the foothills in the area, and commands excellent views, particularly along Windermere, but also across to the Coniston fells and the central fells, as well as the broad panorama of Morecambe Bay. There is an OS trig point on the summit.
The walk to the summit is usually from the road at Astley’s Plantation car park, itself at over 200 metres above sea level, and only 700 metres from the summit. Although short and easy by most standards, and popular with families, it has many of the characteristics of a walk in the higher Lakeland fells, with some (short) steep slopes, rocks to negotiate, and rowan, bracken and heather. The lower slopes are forested, but the upper portion is moorland
