The 6 mile point on the Keswick Half Marathon, bottom of Catbells and the rain cleared enough to do a quick sketch before the runners came....you can see the back of the arrow pointing the way under Catbells towards Lodore

Dorothy Well

 
Dorothy Well, Portinscale, a memorial to Dorothy Christain (1730-1772).  Daughter of the Vicar of Crosthwaite, Keswick, Dorothy was an invalid, who liked to watch the horses at the well from her cottage window. Reverend Christian  was the uncle of Fletcher Christian of "Mutiny on the Bounty" fame...
