The Lake District has an abundance of hills, lakes (of course), woodland, beautiful countryside, cosy pubs... and waterfalls 🏞

We already want to go back! 😊

This weekend, we had a wonderful time in Coniston. Walking is so much more enjoyable when you are surrounded by breathtaking scenery 🏞

I've been fortunate to travel to many far-flung places, but the Lake District, which is less than a two-hour drive from where we live, is one of the most beautiful places on Earth 🌍

I had 3 gos at Crinkle Crags before I got decent conditions but when I did, wow. Has to be one of the best #LakeDistrict walks. Beautiful dramatic and exhilarating views along the five summits of the ridge, including Scafell Pike & the Langdale Pikes.

We had a really nice day out today at the Bluebird K7 Festival. We saw it in the water and we heard the jet engine power up (loud!) but they had a technical problem then the conditions got too rough. But great to see it on Coniston again

No portfolio of walks in the #LakeDistrict is complete without The Langdale Pikes walk. The distinctive shape of their summits is visible from all over the area. Views from the Pikes are of course terrific. See https://www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeDistrict/LangdalePikes/Hiking%20Pages%20-%20Langdale%20Pikes.htm
