GLW100220: Lily Tarn?

20th February 2010

First day of our two centre holiday- Kendal and Ambleside.  We had booked the Quaysiders's with the original intention of taking Granny but, with the passage of time and also the nature of the weather, she wasn't interested in travelling even twenty miles.

Anxious to get at least one walk in before the bad weather forced us to retreat home, we arrived early and set off for Lily Tarn.

Walking by the River Brathay at the top of Windermere, there was a fine view of the Fairfield Horseshoe.

We climbed up Todd Crag as the weather was darkening.  The first tarn we found was more like a puddle, definitely not Lily Tarn.  The second tarn was still small but at the time I thought that was Lily- it is certainly the closest to the name marked on the OS 1:25K map.  But there is a larger tarn up there that we missed.  I think that was Lily Tarn. We'll have to go back!

A different interpretation of the Fairfield Horseshoe, as seen from Miller Brow:

We then dropped down into the north end of Ambleside and strolled back to our bijou holiday home.
