Hunger
called us to the Lodore Falls Hotel which had an excellent view of lake Derwent
Water. There was plenty of outside seating but it was a bit too cold for
sitting outside so we ventured in for lunch. It was a very posh bar inside and
I did feel a bit guilty walking in wearing my hiking clobber; but not a word
was said and we were made welcome. We sat on leather couches and I opted for a
hot burger alongside a pint of Jennings Cumberland Ale. It wasn’t in the best
condition but they’d an effort and at least it was local here. The others opted
for a selection of tapas dishes which came out in much bigger portions than I’d
imagined which was very reasonable considering that the staff were in full
waistcoat clobber. A quick chat with them revealed that there was a footpath to
the falls directly to the hotel, but we had to walk around their building site
first as they were having a spa installed. Unfortunately we ran
out of time for this as we didn’t want to miss the last boat back to town.
