#grasmere — Public Fediverse posts

About a year ago (May '25), I was at the top of Helm Craig, looking down on Grasmere. We were staying at the Lancrigg Hotel for a few nights.

I can't express how much I want to return there. I clearly underestimated how many days we should have stayed there. Can one be homesick for a place you don't live in?

I'm not sure if it's a rational feeling, but I could certainly take a few months to hike as many fells as I could.

It was raining so our Plan B was a scenic drive though the English #LakeDistrict - traffic wasn’t bad but it was the longest I’ve even seen the queue at the old #Gingerbread Shop in #Grasmere, about half an hour standing in the rain (most of that in the graveyard) with a fairly international mix of happy looking tourists.

My happy place. Thinking of the Lancrigg Hotel, just outside of Grasmere. (2025) Late afternoon sun.

A photo taken on the way up to Helm Craig. The weather was amazing. Random hills were spotlighted by the sun. Eventually it was my turn. Looking towards Grasmere Lake.
