It finally stopped raining for long enough to get a solid New Year's Day hike into Grisedale, one of my favourite Lake District valleys.
Aye, in all my time living in Cumbria I'd never ventured up the Hoad. Superb views.

Its design is inspired by medieval wooden siege engines, which were propped against castle and fort walls to help invading armies breach defences. Adopting and inverting that same intention, the Auckland Tower borrows the design of those historic constructs to allow visitors to “breach” the castle’s history and allow people to freely explore.
This is the Banqueting Hall, built in 1370 CE, so it is truly medieval. It remains furnished with its original Dais table, behind which hangs a tapestry gifted to the family by a visiting Henry VIII.
Now back in use since October 2020. Originally built in the late 1800s. Buxton, High Peak, Derbyshire.
