Kendal Skyline September 2017

On a day when Windermere got quite a soaking and 160 odd houses got flooded in Millom, we managed to stay surprisingly dry!  The autumn colours were beginning to show and the views were improving as the day rolled on and the thunder clouds rolled out of the area.  It sure did look dark at one point…

Pennine Way Hebden Bridge to Horton in Ribblesdale September 2017

The Pennine Way is rapidly becoming our lucky walk!  Six days of the route done so far and sunshine and dry weather all the way!  I dare say we will get our come upance very soon!  We particularly enjoyed the contrast between the Moors and the Limestone Country on this trip.  Hawes here we come in…

Crinkle Crags August 2017

We had a cracking day out in the Langdales for our August Walk.  Ian Dyer, despite his ever so slight dislike of heights and edges led us on a superb route taking in Pike O'Blisco, the Crinkles and Bow Fell.  The clarity of the views was stunning and we all had a great day out as the photos will…

Tongue Tied Bell Ringers July 2017

Jim Strides Again June 2017

Caroline decided to lead a route which was originally introduced to our walks programme by a founder member, Jim Strothers.  Jim led a walk for the National LDWA AGM from Keswick Station Hotel, down to Grasmere.  It was a great route back then, and we thought why not give it a try again.   Well, it…

Lockton 100 Lock In! May 2017

We took the opportunity to make a week's holiday out of the North York Moors 100 event this May.  We were blessed with beautiful weather and so we were able to get out and about.  Our walks programme varied from short strolls from the cottage, to seaside walking with ice creams to railway link…

Pennine Way Edale to Hebden Bridge April 2017

 We are currently walking the Pennine Way in "Bite Sized Chunks".  We set out in April 2017 and hope to finish by summer 2018.     For our first three days we were blessed with gorgeous weather and here are a few images of us along the way.  If you want to join us for future sections keep an eye on…
