Friars Crag - Lake District National Park

I spent two beautiful days in the Lake District with Steve and Susan in April 2003. We were lucky, these two days were the warmest April days for at least 1000 years.

Buttermere - time for reflexions

I came back for two more days to celebrate New Years 2004/5 here. Unfortunately it was rainy or overcast most of the time but we were lucky to catch a nice day with beautiful views as you can see on the picture.

Steve, Susan and the rest of the family

The Lake District consists of beautiful lakes, the highest hills (ok, mountains ;) of England, great places for walks and picnics, lovely little villages and thousands of sheep, pubs and outdoor shops to entertain the tourists.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Beautiful scenery, lovely sheep, nice villages
Cons:The sea would make it perfect!
In a nutshell:Probably the most scenic area of England

Last visit to Lake District National Park: Jan 2005

I hope we see as much in 5 days as you saw in 2! That poor guy in the flagpole - how embarrassed will he be if he ever sees your tip!

If you visit the western Lake District you will find miles of sandy beaches, fewer people and cheaper prices. You still have the mountains and lakes nearby. It's our favourite part of the Lakes.

I do so look forward to visit the Lake District (my ancestors came from there), and your wonderful photos and commentary have added to my desire to see "the old country."
