The Lake District was absolutely beautiful. We stayed in a town called Ambleside and it was very quaint. It is next to Lake Windermere, the one we hiked above in these pictures. These pictures really do not do the scenery justice.
This wall ran along the hills every which way. It was like a miniature Great Wall of China.
Sketching the lake. It was lovely.
We decided to take a different route on our way back and we found ourselves trail-less. We came up against the wall and our only viable option was to climb over it. Luckily there were some jutty rocks that we could use as steps. 
The wall seems small, but it was pretty daunting at the time. It wasn't one you could just jump on top of. It ended up being a funny story cause Kendal (in the picture with me) had come across a spider in the previous marsh area we had to pass through and wasn't too pleased. It took us a while to coax her to come down, and that spiders were more likely to be on the wall than in the ground below. Camilia and I trudged ahead and realized that we were having to make our own path. Then I slipped in a stream.
As Camilia and I were trying to find a way back to town, this lady with her adorable puppy came up. The dog took one look at us and bounded happily our way. It made my day. That and the awesome views.
