It’s been way too long since I’ve seen Matt,so it was great to finally catch up again,my brother Jamie making us a trio   With it being a Bank holiday wknd,we knew it would be extra busy in the Lakes,so I plotted us out a 3 day route,starting from Ravenglass  We departed the train at 8-30 am under clear blue skies on Friday morning,Matt had stayed over in our cabin in the garden and Jamie had stayed at our parents house,a few miles from my house  Not far from the station you pass the old Roman baths ruins,before passing Muncaster castle,a long lane then leads steadily upwards to the beautiful Muncaster Tarn  A short while later and we reach the lovely peak “ Hooker crag” even at its small height it gives great views of the route we have yet to cover and most of the west side of the Lakes    Irton road bridge seemed a good place for our lunch ,wraps were eaten as we watched the lall ratty steam train,carrying its happy passengers along the narrow track,below and past us  The forest path
