I'd Rather Be in the Lake District
This section shows photographs from outside the Lakes, often my own pictures but sometimes contributions from Lake District Now visitors. If you would like to take part please take a suitable photograph and .
Karen and Andy from the Lake Landers are in Oxfordshire - This picture is at Heyford which Andy says means the "hay ford" so it is appropriate that they are re-thatching this cottage
The next update will be posted on Sunday Evening, have a great weekend.

Wainwright Fell ChallengeI am looking for 214 people to sponsor a fell by donating £15 to raise a total sum of £3210 for WaterAid. Each sponsored fell will provide one person in Africa or Asia with a lasting supply of safe, clean water, sanitation and hygiene education. In return I will add your name and short message to the Hall-of-Fame. The Hall of Fame is an ideal way to show your love of the Lake District or remember a loved one. Julia Bradbury, presenter of the BBC Wainwright's Walks says "Come on lovers of the Lake District...choose your favourite and help to provide something we take for granted in this country - safe, clean water for people in Africa and Asia who aren't as fortunate as we are. Castle Cragg is mine - small but perfectly formed. Which one will you bag...?" Bag your favourite fell now - once they're gone they're gone! |
