A first look at WastWater

As we pass Low Wood on the left we find ourselves at the very southern end of this lonely West Lake District lake, called more correctly a ‘Water’ in common with all but one of the sixteen ‘Lake District’ lakes not being called lakes at all, instead being ‘Meres’ and ‘Waters’. The most prominent hill here is Yewbarrow at 628m resembling the upturned hull of a boat or a barrow.
As usual the landscape is dotted with local sheep. The PiP’s, are taken from the same hillside and possibly in your opinion may have merited having been the main photo here.
