Blimey! That's a bit steep.
It's years since I visited the Lake District - maybe 1986. Before then I often came here to walk in the hills and even climb some of the crags. Julie has never been at all.
We had Tesco vouchers to use up and chose the Best Western in Banchory but decided to break the long journey at Kendal. We both managed to get the afternoon off and set …

The weather wasn’t the greatest as I ventured out to Cockshott point to check on the trees (the main reason for my trip as well as my aunt's 60th birthday celebrations) and do maintenance on ...
