Sunday 29th December 2013/14

Seven members of the group braved the winter weather and walked from Grassmere to Allcock Tarn.
When we reached the top the views were excellent, it was a clear dry day. (but not dry in the pub).
We walked back down to Grassmere and hand a few drinks in the pub, to warm up.

The same magnificent seven rode the bus to Ambleside, the weather was horrible, wet and windy.
Took shelter in the the local shops and cafes. Topped up our supply of Kendal Mint Cake and took
the bus back home to Grassmere.
In the evening we had a lovely meal at Tweedies and celebrated three birthdays, with lots of clinking glasses!!

Tuesday 31st December 2013
Ten of us went for a  short stroll around Rydal Water, surprisingly nobody went for a swim!!!
We had rain in the morning but it dried up in the afternoon. We visited a tea shop at the mill,
for lunch and still managed to eat more cake!!!
Everybody got dressed up in their finery for the New Years Celebrations, some people even wore skirts,and thats just the men!!!
  Fire works were set off at midnight and a fine display they were.
Lots of "happy new year" kissing and well wishing continued into the early hours - letting the new year in.

New Years Day
No hangovers were visible, everybody up bright and early (ish).
We all set off home because the weather was not very nice.
