Wild pansies grow near our front door.
After breakfast Sue, Simon and I drove to the nearby Keiloch car park (£3.50) and set off on a circuit around Craig Leek, a modest 635 metre summit.
Soon we passed a sculpture reminiscent of Henry Moore.
A suitable spot for elevenses sported a fine view.
After a while, we took a narrow path to the 635 metre summit.
My selfie was not altogether successful!
Later, and I'm afraid the evidence was eaten before the camera came out, a visit to the Co-op was rewarded with three huge cream cakes (they didn't fit into the boxes). It took a moment for me to realise they were being given away - until I understood my error, the shop assistant seemed quite upset that I didn't want any cakes. They were delicious. Apparently they had been over ordered for a function and needed to be given away to avoid wastage. (I missed a trick here - should have taken a big bag of them to Challengers on the campsite.)

"...perhaps a lunch hut for estate workers?" I think they probably sat on the grass outside while the landed gentry were served inside?
As always, super country that can be enjoyed without hitting the high tops. BC and I some time ago walked all Wainwright's Outlying Fells and for me that was more rewarding than joining the masses in the central Lakes.
Great weather you are having. The little white cottage is a private bothy used as a base camping place for Girl Guides, if you can use that term these days, so Google says.
Yes, we had great weather. Sue knocked off a load of her 'missing Munros'!
We didn't see any girl guides, though that use of the white cottage does make sense, particularly in the midge season.
