First off I climbed Whitfell. I did it from the car park at the top of the Fell Road more or less as Wainwright recommends. Up Buck Barrow. On to Whitfell bypassing Burn Moor. Then over Burn Moor and on to Kinmont Buck Barrow and so back to the start. There was a path underfoot except when crossing Kinmont Buck Barrow. All very straightforward except the moment coming down off Kinmont Buck Barrow when I went up to my thigh in walked didn’t look too bag a small patch of boggy ground..

There was quite a lot of day left so I decided I would go and walk round the lagoon at Millom. I parked in Heverigg where the OS map shows a car park and a toilet. From there alonmg the shore a bit and then along the outer barrier, past the lighthouse. The was built in 1905 to protect the lead mines within it from the sea but since the mines closed the inside has flooded to make the present day lagoon. T the end of the barrier I went to visit the trig which is at the foot of an old windmill. Then a path leads round past the old lighthouse eventually coming to the big caravan park on the north of the lagoon where the way goes past the front of the Herdwick pub and then the grounds of the caravan park. Another very easy very peasant walk
