Move to Ambleside. We left our Air BnB as clean as possible and packed everything into our backpacks. By the time we got that done we had missed the 8:30 am bus so we sauntered to the bus station and caught the 9:30 am bus to Ambleside. It turned out to be cheaper to buy a full day pass than a one-way ticket to Ambleside so we got the pass. After arriving in Ambleside and checking in at our B&B we decided to do a hike over the hills from Grasmere to Am. We used our bus pass to get to Grasmere. The hike was pretty easy but interesting and educational.  Educational because many of the paths we used weren't marked on our map or only showed as light grey dotted lines. This should help us find useful paths for the rest of the week. The most prominent  flowers were foxglove, which grew in great abundance among the ferns.
