Day 3 Seatoller to Grasmere

16.2 KMs (61.4kms) and 655 metres up

Spring has sprung!
Lambs, new bracken from the snow squashed remains of last year's, new leaves aplenty.
Lots of water, but thankfully little mud.
We went up 600m then, you guessed it, down 600m.
Views to the sea still.

We landed in Grasmere, this might be Leuras mother. Old world elegance craftily blended with rural tranquility.
