Lakes or Peaks ?

Small point of order. It's Peak not Peaks

thanks for all the suggestions guys, SWMBO has decided on the Lyth valley and booked a week at the beginning of June, hopefully we'll miss the school holidays but get some decent weather.

Farther north in the Lakes is great, I found it a harder landscape, more like the Dales, in fact, but well worth it. The touristy areas of the lakes are frustrating, I find, just because of the amount of tourists. It's all icecream and grannies and roads jammed up with coaches. well, that said, I've not holidayed in the lakes for a good few years, but that's what it used to be like. I can't imagine it's changed.

Pack a wet suit because it rains in the lakes 364 days a year pretty much

I was up in Little Langdale over the weekend and it was idyllic.

I just love the Langdale bridges

Slate workings everywhere, 80 years ago it must have been a very industrial landscape, birch are moving in now colonising the waste.

We were not all up to high fells but got a brief taster.

We went up the lakes this weekend too. Day one , the Rigg up towards high st , blea water and small water. Lots and lots of snow. Day , Tarn Hows and Black fell. I've never done Black fell before, it was absolutley lovely, just a little hillock reakky but with such a spectacular view seeming plonked right smack in the middle of the bigger fells. Fantastic, will try to get some pics up.
