Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

And I missed you again!
Didn’t even notice you overtaking, which you must have done

He was going so fast he'd just have been a blur (I did spot him going by... but only just!)

It was you who said hi to me as you flew past, wasn’t it?

Though I'm not sure if "flew" is quite the right word!

It made me happy that the wind was mostly blowing upslope rather than down!

Did anyone watch 'The Lakes with Simon Reeves' last night? I was prepared for more of the usual guff, but felt that it gave a really balanced view of real life in the Lake District especially for places like Barrow and for hill farmers. Looking forward to the next programme 😀

Yes, I watched it too. I was expecting something entirely different that what we got and liked the focus on the local communities, a proper warts and all commentary. Some great footage too, we were playing spot-the-fell. What a place Black Sail YHA is, the room he stayed in was the same one we used for SimonF's birthday a few years back. Hope to go back there one day.

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
