Dear Ann and Roger,<br><br>I was wondering by how much I missed you. It was a pity you were not there but it was nice to at least put your quiet abode on the...
The first time I went to the Lake District was when I was 19, youth hostelling with a girl friend. We started at Keswick and took 10 days to walk to ...
I enjoy "festering". As I get older I need the occasional easy, gentle pottering-about day. I understand where it's coming from but what an inappropriate word...
Most of the northern fells are open as of yesterday (although it was virtually impossible to get the details until it was too late to go up). The tourist route...
Dear Ann,<br><br>Glad to see you back on Skiddaw again - good news. Your photographs were great - really enjoyed them. Keep up the good work and enjoy your ...
Well done, Ann. Must have been an inspiring moment when you topped out on your home mountain after eight months away.<br><br>That last photo raised a belly...
Wonderful news indeed.Looking forward to a whole new catalogue of fell walks on your site. :)<br>I have to say,though,that my last ascent of Skiddaw was by...
Hi Pam,<br><br>It was lovely to read your messages when I got back yesterday after just being in that part of the Lakes myself. Sorry you didn't have better...
Just got back from three wonderful days and no rain!!! Decided to go via the Dales and avoid the queues on the A66 ,,, bad decision. After almost climbing out...
That sounded wonderful :) You could almost have knocked off Grassmoor while you were up there!<br>Glad you re-charged your batteries.<br>Now,if someone can ...
Hi Jill<br><br>Glad you had a great time. I'm green with envy about your good weather. You went on some terrific walks, I've done all three. Your enthusiasm is...
Dear Members,<br>Many of you will be glad to hear that Tony Richards has his Lakeland Cam site up and running again after his ISP server upgrade. If you want ...
Hi Jill<br><br>Glad to hear you are 'restored' again :o)<br><br>Well done on finally reaching Esk Pike! Regarding your first solo summit being exhilarating, I...
Made me smile, your comment about sitting on a summit in total peace. It was blowing a gale and I could hardly stand. I was freezing but couldn't put my ...
"There's something special about sitting at a summit on your own, in silence and total peace."<br><br>Yes,but this is Catbells we're talking about here!...
Hi Jill<br><br>Maybe I should have said, 'sitting on a summit in total peace (when there isn't a gale blowing!)' You know what i meant :o)<br><br>Paul...
Hi Ian<br><br>>>"There's something special about sitting at a summit on your own, in silence and total peace."<<<br><br>>Yes,but this is ...
I was amazed, I had it all to myself! I was going to get someone to take a photo (with my matchstick) but there was no-one around ,,, although not surprising...
Well, I do not have much new to say, as my last week in the Lakes was much the same as the one reported on 5 weeks ago. Needless to say though, I thoroughly...
Determined to climb Fisher Wife's Rake yesterday and I nearly got there.<br><br>From the intake wall above Hill Top quarry I could see the zigzag path high up...
I once had the summit of Helvelyn all to myself, the conditions were attrocious (snow and almost zero visibility mist) but it was only ten minutes before...
The summit of Esk Pike was deserted too when we first got up there ,,, a great feeling! And we managed to get out of the wind and enjoy being there!...
Just wanted to say sorry for my abrupt departure last night ,,, my pc crashed and I though that by the time I had managed to get back on-line you would have...
I think it's about time I answered my own question. I don't know if anyone got it but I thought if anything the 'where' would be too easy. The skyline with ...
I don't know about that!<br><br>However, one particular day I obliged with my picture taking services on three occasions and there were plenty of other people ...
