Lakes District Two

 

The Story

Josie and I went up to the north of the Lakes District for Easter 2000, and spent a lovely few days relaxing and doing some serious day walks. They call it the Lakes District - but we spent more time walking up (and up and up!) hills than around lakes! Beautiful scenery, friendly people, green, lush pastures - beautiful.

Sunlight splashes momentarily on the hills Chief navigator! An old mine squats disused at the bottom of the hill Water, everywhere!
A couple of sheep At the bottom of the hill, the small river has become a fairly large stream Daffodils & a welcoming pub for a post-walk drink Early the next morning, the mist hasn't quite cleared from the meadows
Looking out the front door On our second walk we climbed a hill just in front of Skiddaw, on the other side of Lake Basenthwaite from our hotel Josie looking pleased with our progress Sheep farming down on the flats beside the lake
Looking across Lake Basinthwaite to our hotel ("The Swan") The happy couple, with Lake Basenthwaite behind them Looking along Lake Bastenthwaite. In the far distance is the Isle of Mann The lambs carry the same number as their mother, thus proving that sheep can read
Cameron takes a breather on a tree stump beside a brook This beautiful stream ran down to the lake, through beautiful green pastures A church rests peacefully below Skiddaw Cameron leaps a fence and is captured by the "Queen of Stiles" (yuk yuk yuk)
