Farmland near Gunnerthwaite Grazing land in the Keer valley. The gate indicates the route of the Thirlmere Aqueduct. A valve house can be seen in the distance. The aqueduct used to be inspected by foot, so gates were provided where the route crosses walls and fences.

Thunder in the east? As the sun was getting low a break in the clouds east and north of Carnforth gave a glimpse of these towering thunder clouds beyond Cragg Lot. No thunder could be heard so perhaps they were a long way away? The day had been warm and humid.
