About Me

I've recently retired and I've been doing long distance walks for some years now - this one is the biggest yet though.

Loving the Lakes!

Wednesday 25 May - Firstly I want to say a "Happy Birthday" to Kate and Lolly - my bestest daughter-in-laws!  My lads married two lasses who share the same birthday. 

Had a great day's walk today, only 11 miles, from Bowness to just north of Grasmere.
Grasmere
The B&B (home for the last 2 nights) was brilliant and I would highly recommend as a base should you visit the Lake District.  It is owned by Colin and Mandy and called Number 80 Bed Then Breakfast.
A whole lot nicer than being under wet canvas!

Once on the outskirts of Ambleside it was on to the paths again and the beautiful Lakeland views.  The weather, being dry for once, meant I could see for miles.
Just Wow!

Today's walk ended at the base of The Lion and the Lamb (no, not a pub!)  To be back on Loughrigg again on such a lovely day was fantastic.
The Lion and The Lamb - you can see why.
If the weather is kind on Thursday I can bag me some real big mountains.
