How on earth did you find those, John?

Is was at Manchester Airport this morning at 0930 dropping someone off. Thought that I would drive home a scenic way. Would be a shame not to check them about as I was convinced they didn’t exist But thanks to Adrian they do exist. Had some other stock photos to take in the area. Weather was great in lakes until 1330 then it poured down all the way home short day today 438 miles

Deja vu all over again.

Did you make a special journey to Thirlmere after seeing this?
