This is where we will be next week on holiday. Our cottage in the Lake District, no traffic,no noise pollution, no light pollution. Its that quiet when a bird flies past you can hear the beat of it`s wings. You are able to see the stars at night which you don`t see at home because of light pollution.

Ooh can i come :)

It looks really lovely there. :)

Thanks Kev, here`s a place we spent a few hours at. It`s Watendlath a small
hamlet in a hanging valley which sits above the Borrowdale valley with a nice tea room at hand. It would have looked better again when it snowed a few days later.

This is one of the highest pubs in England so there is never a chance of warm beer. It seems to change ownership frequently, it must be the solitude gets them down. In bad weather it is often cut off, cars not able to climb the pass

My first trip to the Lake District in febuary 1955,that`s me on the right after spending a night in a bothy(a small stone building with nothing in it).
I`ve been back every year since

Great pics. I was going to ask you to post some Lake District photos - I'd love to see more of the place. I have been there only about 3 times. Only to Windemere. Hope to explore further afield one of these days. :)

Briliant stuff once again GD:handclap:

Thanks folks,and 3 years later in 1995 it had been rebuilt this is about 1500 feet up anybody can stay in there it`s left open all the year round. If any body gets into difficulty on the hills they can spend the night there,

fantastic :handclap:
