Rainbow over Brothers Water
Tuesday 31st March 2015
A special day for me - my birthday! In gale force winds and with snow in the forecast, we set off from Cow Bridge at the northern end of Brothers Water (at the bottom of Kirkstone Pass) to do a circular seven mile walk. We got caught in several hailstorms before managing to take refuge halfway round in the Brothers Water Inn at Sykeside. Leaving there suitably refreshed, we visited the end of Dovedale, gazing up at the lofty Dove Crag in a fierce hailstorm before taking the path on the western side of Brothers Water back to the car. Just as we approached the southern shore, the hail stopped, the sun shone and a fantastic rainbow appeared above Brothers Water. On returning towards Ambleside the road at the top of Kirkstone Pass was covered in snow, we just made it.
