LAKE DISTRICT TRIPS

Living in Kendal, I am lucky enough to have the Cumbrian Mountains virtually on my doorstep. Coupled with the Howgills and the southern Scottish Uplands being also within a short striking distance, there is never a shortage of places to go when in need of a mountain adventure.  

Below are few accounts of some of the more memorable trips I have made over recent years into the hills around Cumbria.

"The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men" and Sprinkling Tarn 1/31/10

Wainwrights Coast to Coast 7/19/09

It does not get better than this  - Ennerdale wildcamp in the spring sunshine 4/23/09

What a winter mountainscape in the Lakes 2/11/09

Still to be written up:
