A dull grey day which was quite chilly. I set off round the cycle path around the lake finding a reasonable surface for my road bike with skinny smooth tyres, i did get a bit of tyre slip on some of the hilly sections. The path went up and down quite a lot so one had to be careful on the descents. Interesting with a lot of water birds to see including a crested grebe. Quite a number of swallows. Many primroses and some cowslips. I had a snack at the tourist centre where there were some shops and a couple of cafes. Visited stone island. When i got back to the camp site i decided to do another circuit, this time on road. This went higher and gave some good panoramic views of the lake and countryside. Called at Carsington village where i visited St Margaret's church. Plenty of time to recover and chat with other campers before bed at 9 p.m.
