What to do in Winter? hmmm!...... | I think this is Hardknott Pass |
Due to the time of year we chose to travel to the lakes, all the "touristy" things to do were closed. We decided to get out the map and find all the steepest mountain passes and beautiful lakes and have a bit of a tour round. |
|  | Sheep There are lots of these: sometimes wandering around aimlessly in the road, other times just sat eating grass and staring at you as you drive by and disturb their peace and quiet. |
Our holiday base We based ourselves in Elterwater which is near Ambleside and fairly central to everywhere really.
We found a good late deal on a little cottage (details in the accommodation tips) and had a fantastic 5 days apart from Steve coming down with something (I forget what - but his temperature was sky high!) for most of the holiday.... | | | The view from our cottage window |

Enjoyed this. We only live a few miles from the Lakes and have travelled Hardknott and Wrynose many times. Easier in winter when there aren't so many tourists about, you can get a good run at them. Those descending SHOULD give way to those ascending!!! |
