Adventurer Nic
January 29, 2025, Lap of Derwent Water 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

Clocked off work early and headed for Portinscale for a slowish trail run around Derwent Water with James with the setting sun. What a stunning day! Lovely to bump into @Sarah and @Leigh half way too 😃

Great route to walk or run around Derwentwater at Keswick. Baking hot tonight, so a couple of dips in the lake was a must to cool off 🥵🥵💦💦💦
