| 15.11 Panorama 755 Today was the day of the queen's funeral so we stayed to watch it in the hotel before leaving. After a snack lunch in Glenridding we headed for Great Mell Fell to repeat my walk from earlier in the year. On the way up this stop was to look at the view rather than for a breather. |
