Fancy A Trip to The Lake District

beautiful blog and pics pansy but a bit cold for me ,i like my central heating,must be getting old

Fantastic photos, PP, and so lovely to see the Lake District like this as I haven't been able to get up there for a few years. We have spent so many lovely holidays there but have never been during the winter months. My eldest daughter goes each January but I don't think their walks are as strenuous as Simon and Claires!
Some of the shots look like they are walking to the North Pole :)

Fantastic photos. I bet they all enjoyed.

I`ve only been to the Lakes in summer and autumn so thanks for sharing PP, I really enjoyed seeing these scenes especially with the snow ......

Great blog , never been to the lake district, amazing scenery, we've started going for really long walks recently, looking at your pictures somewhere I'd love to go, thanks for sharing,really enjoyed looking at your photo's :-))))))))

I've neber been to the lakes either, but this reminds me of what we 'used' to do in Scotland. Nice picture blog.

Glorious Pansy! What views, such spectacular scenery. I've never been to the Lake District so this is the next best thing:-)

The lake district is one of my favourite places up until four years ago we went ther twice a year on holiday.Although we did not go on many walks we went to some lovely places.As we stayed in the western lakes it was always quieter one of our favorite places being Wastwater the views are just superb where ever you go.As a family holiday it was just ideal.

So cool and magical to see the hills covered in snow. How adventurous of you to do this at this time of year and how rewarding to get such fabulous photos. Thank you for making the time to put this blog together to share the experience.

Wonderful blog Pansy. Such beautiful photographs. I have actually been there and at this time of year too. Your pics are of a much better quality than mine.

carole what a wonderfull weekend and beautifull pics to, i would love to have been there, wish i could get baz interested in walking, that feeling of freedom and fresh air, glad you enjoyed it and thanx for sharing ;o)))

Brill blog and photos, always say that you have to go along way to beat the scenery you get at the lake distric, i think its absolutely stunning, thanks for showing us.

Magnificent views Carole ,, We have watched all the wainwrights walks on TV , we love to get up there when we can , our son spends as many weekends walking there as he possibly can with his boys .. we are hoping to go up next Easter , it's a truly spectacular area ... :o)

Many Thanks to everyone for your lovely comments plleased you enjoyed the pictures.
Gardeningfr and Sanbaz just to clarify it wasnt Harry and I did the walk, it was our son Simon and Claire his partner, although we both love walking this level is a little beyond us both now ! but how I wish!
Toto it was Simon who took the pictures another of his pastimes!

Thanks for the clarification. All my comment is still valid except I understand now it wasn't you who was adventurous. In the circumstances I think you owe me a photo of you doing something adventurous. What adventures do you have planned?

Lol Gardenfr well Ive done some baking today and supervised the Tree Surgeon yesterday and a couple of weeks ago went on a Autumn Morning Walk [see blog] and tonight Im going to put my feet up after entertaining a house full of visitors all afternoon, now what more could you ask of a Lady in the silver years of her life lol

this was just amazing thanks so much for sharing with all of us have great Holiday..

Thanks Lujwean pleased you enjoyed it! and a happy holiday to you and yours too!

I have just done your Autumn walk blog. The problem was it is dark and I had to do it all alone as everybody else did it in October. I enjoyed the walk to the garden centre. Now I know where TT got the idea for her blog on a garden centre trip. I read your list of activities and still think I need something more adventurous from you in the future.

I wonder what you have in mind?

and here was me thinking how extreamly fit you both were carole lol ;o))

Thinks it what you could say a Pike Too Far ! Sandra lol

Well if I couldn't persuade you to hug a stone statue on your mini break in Derbyshire, the need for adventurous suggestions seems sorely needed but it is pointless unless you are prepared to accept a challenge. I find it is my granddaughter that usually inspires me to try something I wouldn't normally do. On her last visit it was a cable car ride.

Wow Gf you are adventurous!

As I don't like heights the cable car ride was a bit of a challenge but I got some good photos for a blog. There is one photo of the gardens taken from the cable car at the end of my Happy Valley blog. I do like walking up hills but don't like walking on snow or ice. I had a few bad falls on it at the beginning of 2009 and have no desire to repeat the experience this winter. In the circumstances I don't think I will be as adventurous as your son.

lol carole ;o)

Will have a look at your Happy Valley Blog GF I have always fancied a ride in a Hot Air Balloon but doubt if I would have the nerve if I was given the chance!

Lovely hillsides... beautiful photos... happy trip :o)

Thanks Terra

What stunning views!

Lovely pictures Carole.I have many fond memories of the Lake district,as my parents and I lived on the coast at Workington,for 22 years,so were in easy reach of all these lovely places.Unfortunately,I didn't appreciate how stunning, it is,till I got older,but go back to stay with friends at Windermere ,now and then.Had many a lovely picnic,at various lakes...ah,happy memories.:o)).

Thanks Irene and Bloomer.
Bloomer Its lovely to be reminded of happy memories isnt it, Its my son Simon who is the walker and loves all the challenges he can get, we havent been to the Lakes ourselves for at least 10yrs,we were going to go to Grasmere for our Golden Wedding last November but it fell the week of the floods so had to cancel, we went to Chester instead.

Sorry late to this blog Pp.Simon certainly takes a mean photo.He has captured the beauty of the Lake District perfectly ! x

Thanks BB, yes next to walking, photography is another of his passions! will pass on your compliments to him x

Please do ! xx

incredible!
