  1. A Stay In The Lake District #6

    Ascending Cat Bells.

    Cat Bells is possibly one of the most popular destinations for walkers in the whole of the Lake District. It is therefore a trek where you may meet a lot of other people. We were there at the end of September 2025, well past the end of the school holidays, so crowds were less of an issue, and we found much of the time we were able to keep plenty of space between ourselves and other walkers.
    Having our weekly boat ticket made it simple to set off from the launch base at Keswick.

  6. If you have a spare half hour this film, which I saw at the Christchurch leg of the Banff Mountain Film Festival tour, is worth your time.

    Here are some hashtags but don't let them put you off, the film is about them, but it's really a love story.

  8. Acorn Bank

    One of the National Trust sites here in Cumbria, lovely grounds to wander around and the historic watermill on the site is still milling flour you can buy, but the house is not open to the public nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/lak

  9. Continuing to share favourite images from my 30+ year photographic career, this is Bernie Carter and Drew Moore on the South Ridge of Little Stand in the Lake District—a route I worked out while working on ‘Scrambles and Easy Climbs in the Lake District’. One of the best days out in the book

  10. #Sewage dumped illegally in #Windermere over 3 years

    by Joe Crowley
    October 17, 2024

    "A water company repeatedly dumped millions of litres of raw sewage illegally into one of #ngland's most famous lakes over a three-year period, the BBC can reveal.

    "More than 140 million litres of waste were pumped into Windermere between 2021 and 2023 at times when it was not permitted, our analysis shows, and #UnitedUtilities failed to report most of it.

    "It means the company's #IllegalDumping of #sewage into the lake went on for far longer, and was far more extensive, than was previously known.

    "United Utilities said some of its sewage releases into #Windermere were 'potentially non-compliant' but that it #SelfReports 'over 94% of potential pollution incidents to the #EnvironmentAgency'.

    "Matt Staniek, a campaigner against sewage pollution and founder of #SaveWindermere, said Windermere was 'the jewel in the crown of the #LakeDistrict #NationalPark, and it's being used as an open sewer'.

    "It is sometimes necessary to release sewage into rivers and lakes to stop the wastewater system from being overwhelmed by #HeavyRain but this #pollution can damage the environment, causing harmful #AlgalBlooms and even killing fish.

    "In January this year - after BBC Panorama revealed the company had downplayed the severity of dozens of #pollution incidents, some involving Windermere - United Utilities retrospectively reported some discharges into the lake from October 2023 onwards."

  11. #LakeDistrict mountainHigh Street’s main claim to fame is that it is so named because a Roman road between Ambleside and Brougham (near Penrith) ran over it. It makes for a great walk with super views. Details at tinyurl.com/2u2ckhmv

  12. One of my #DukinfieldCC clubmates (Phil Cunningham) has just completed All Points North...a HUGE ride from #Sheffield, through the #LakeDistrict, up to the #Scottish border, back down through #Northumbria and then back into #Yorkshire. He's classing this 1000km+ ride as training for the #TransContinental that he's madly got on! Took him four days!

  13. Landscapes from the other weekend on Carrock Fell via Rake Trod onto Round Knott, Miton Hill, Drygill Head and Great Lingy Hill. Views over to Bowscale Fell, Coomb Height, Blencathra and many of the north western fells. Superb day, so lucky to have chosen yet another weekend of snow!
