 Hi Laura, I'm going hiking in the Lake District on Friday for a week. I'll have to try a pint of that Snecklifter - great name!

 Some lovely photographs here Laura. The Lake District is certainly a beautiful place..if you can visit off season and enjoy the solitude it's better still. I'll be back to rate some more of your pages soon!
