Anyone been? this is the 3rd time i've been and stayed with my grandma in her house. Today I climbed 3 mountains, well I did ridges. I like walking up mountains, walking for 7 hours today.
I climbed up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiteless_Pike with my brother, grandma and grandad, was pretty nice tbh.
I love that place.
I love it there
Its alot more calm than city life :]
yep its really calm, when I was at the top, It was just beautiful, like the lakes, the mountains, isle of man, the sea, scotland you could see from the top.
Hey dude long time no see. Im home :P Looks like a nice place to go.
matttt i'm at my grandmas, can't go on msn until I come back which is 3thp-14th then off on holiday again on the 15th :]
Nice! i do lots of boating there and have just come back from ulswater, have you done old man conniston yet? tbh thats my fav because you can either do it really easy or hard.:)
Where abouts are you there? U should goto grasmere and get some of there ginger bread, its propper nice there and no where else in the world sells it!:)

Try going up Scafell Pike next seeing as that's the tallest and you get some great views off there ;). You should also walk through Langdale which is where my school sends us on trips sometimes. That's one of the best places I've been in a long time. Anyway, hope you enjoy the rest of your time in the Lakes :).
I'm staying on the coast, but when I go climbing I go to Buttermere, Climbing red pike tomorrow.
Buttermere is a alright place tbh but near goatswater is a good climbing spot i think:)Quote:

my last mountain walk today, started at newlands headed up Hindscarth or somit then up Robinson and down, was excellent, got to go through clouds :] Dnt rly like when u go thru tho its col but u get rly wet and just had a liong bath :D
lake district is my favourite place in the world :) havent been there in about 4 years as it was my dad's favourite place, after he died sorta hard to go there yano =/ but hopefully we'll go there soon, i miss the place intensely
its just beautiful at the top, ye I know what you mean with your dad and everything, very hard.
its a good place .. very cold at night :P
well i haven't been on a mountain at night :[
I went up scaffold pike.. few others fells too.. think scaffold pikes the one with the pub next to it..? anyways, mum dad and sister were sitting down and i was about 12.. decided to climb up the mountain, got about halfway up when i heard this little dot from below (my dad) telling me to get down ^_^
lol ezzie i'm only 12. I always have to wait halfway for about 20 mins cos i'm quite fast walker so I know which way to go lol
Aye, like Grainger said, with living like 10min away from it, I kinda take it for granted. If you ever go up the fells, go up at night. You're above the clouds if it's dull, and you can see everything in the sky as there is no light pollution or whatever.
i live dead close to it ive only been once or so.
Omg, i live like 30mins away k
I live close enough to be in it. Take it for granted.
Lake District is my favorite place in the UK upto now. I have been about 7 times, and i stayed in Whitehaven/Egremont We went up to by the mountains around Scafell and had meals in the pub their. So calm and nice atmosphere, unfortanitly it was my Grandad who paid to have his caravan on the land and now he has died so the caravan has been moved, so might be the last time for a while now. :(
