A Stay In The Lake District #5
Friar’s Crag & Strandshag Bay.
After our clockwise boat trip around Derwentwater, we had a break for lunch at Treeby’s Café on Lake Road. It’s a lovely eating place sited on the ground floor beneath the Treeby and Bolton Gallery, accessible either through the gallery or via the entrance on Lake Road.
We then returned to the lakeside to take a look at Friar’s Crag, a small promontory overlooking the lake and Strandshag Bay and giving distant views of the jaws of Borrowdale.You can read the rest of this post, and see the attached photographs of this beautiful area by using this link to reach the full post on Medium.

And, who knows, perhaps the introduction to this rapidly developing site for writers will appeal to you!

This really easy #LakeDistrict walk on the Uldale Fells provides some great views including the Solway Firth & the Scottish hills beyond & a view of Skiddaw few see, with the benefit of escaping the crowds.

This #LakeDistrict walk on Gowbarrow Fell provides fabulous views along Ullswater, without a massive amount of climbing. Excellent views of Blencathra (Saddleback) & the famous Sharp Edge.

Lake District: A Family Road Trip Through Ullswater, Kirkstone Pass & Ambleside
The Lake District National Park is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful parts of Northern England. I had already visited the area once with friends, so this time, taking my family there was almost a must. One of the advantages of visiting the same place more than once is that it never really feels like the same place. Different weather, different seasons and different routes can completely change the experience. Besides, there were still quite a few places I had not explored during my […] -
The #LakeDistrict hill Whitbarrow (which means white hill) is a limestone plateau which looks like an escapee from the Yorkshire Dales. It is relatively little known and a way of escaping the crowded main fells & sometimes bad weather.

Scafell Pike in the #LakeDistrict and the highest peak in England is on most hikers’ bucket lists. This route from Wasdale Head is probably the shortest. Fabulous views.

The Skiddaw Hermit : Eccentricity on a Mountaintop
Many of you have likely heard of Millican Dalton, the so-called hermit and adventurer of Castle Crag in Borrowdale. In the 1920s and 30s, he managed to carve out a reputation by living in a cave and offering guided walks and canoe trips for tourists seeking a bit of excitement. A hermit in name only, he was more of a seasonal escapee from the drudgery of o ...

The Bleak Back o’ Skiddaw
It‘s been a wet and windy day in the Lakes, so naturally very little was accomplished. Instead, here is a photo from yesterday. The “back o’ Skiddaw” offers little to marvel at—a few sheepfolds dot an otherwise featureless landscape. Any rock that dares to stand out gets christened and turned into a boundary marker. This one, the Cloven Stone, is so named because it happens to be s ...

LONG POST ON #ELNINO / #FLOODING
As we hear of the effects of the #ClimateEmergency round the world, and see #flooding in #Norway I am reminded of #StormDesmond that hit #Cumbria between 5th & 6th Dec 2015. In 48 hours #Thirlmere in #LakeDistrict recorded 405mm of rainfall in combination with severe gales up to 81mph. This was an El Nino year.It was the 4th major storm of the autumn. The ground and the lakes were already saturated.

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!
