It still never ceases to amaze me how quickly the weather can change in the Lake District. Yesterday I was up on Walla Crag in the wind and the rain teaching a navigation course. On the rare occasions Derwentwater was actually visible through the clouds we could see waves being whipped up by the wind and crashing into the shore.
This evening we went down to Derwentwater to mess about in boats and the weather could not have been more different. The surface of the lake was as smooth as glass and there was not a breath of wind. We had great views of all of the surrounding fells and the colours of the sunset finished the day off beautifully. We were having such a wonderful evening we ended up paddling back in the dark.
