  2. Contrary to the prediction I made in yesterday afternoon’s post, I did do something this morning before catching my train. I walked up Brant Fell. Here’s a post about that and a summary of my time in Windermere: journeys.klebanoff.com/2025/09

  3. This afternoon by Windermere Lake, I visited the Jetty Museum and took a walk along a piece of the waterfront in Bowness. It was another enjoyable afternoon. Here’s the post: journeys.klebanoff.com/2025/09

  4. Another day based in Windermere, England, another hike. This time it was an easier one, up to the top of nearby Orrest Head. Here’s my post about it: journeys.klebanoff.com/2025/09

  5. This afternoon, I took an amble from Ambleside, England, and climbed up Loughrigg Fell. What in the heck is Loughrigg Fell? Read this to find out: journeys.klebanoff.com/2025/09

  6. Still based in Windermere in the Lake District of England, I took another boat trip on Windermere Lake this morning, this time to Ambleside. It was delightful. Here’s the post: journeys.klebanoff.com/2025/09

  7. Another in Windermere, England, and another boat trip this morning, this time from Bowness to Lakeside. Then I took a special mode of transportation to Haverthwaite. The weather was less than wonderful, but the morning was quite enjoyable. Read about it here: journeys.klebanoff.com/2025/09

  8. “The campaigners from Windrush Against Sewage Pollution (WASP) and Save Windermere identified 140 illegal spill days in 2024, more than in any of the three previous years. United Utilities told BBC News that the campaigners' findings were "inaccurate" and some of the data "erroneous". The company declined to put in writing, despite repeated requests, any specific examples of mistakes or omissions.” Draw your own conclusions! #Windermere #UnitedUtilities #Sewage

  9. Windermere and its History No One Wants to Discuss

    It was a bit wet this morning in the Lakes, so here is a photograph from yesterday’s walk up Wansfell instead.

    This is, of course, Windermere, England’s largest lake, famed for its picturesque scenery but cursed with a history no postcard could capture. And I don’t mean the recent sewage discharge debacle. A favourite with tourists, t ...

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

    "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."

  15. Thanks #Pedometer++ and @_Davidsmith for having given us a great tool to discover beautiful places around us! While having an ice cream of lake #Windermere, I’ve put together a quick lake walk and had the confidence of the route in seconds!! Amazing!!

  16. Heute geht es weiter mit der #Bahn von Grasmere bzw. #Windermere nach #Newcastle upon Tyne. Mein Datenvolumen ist fast aufgebraucht. Also funktioniert das Roaming von #AldiTalk doch ab und zu.
