Badger Nov 2021 12:05pm, 15 Nov 2021 14,356 posts	0 Badger He was going so fast he'd just have been a blur (I did spot him going by... but only just!)
Rosehip Nov 2021 12:58pm, 15 Nov 2021 23,064 posts	0 Rosehip It was you who said hi to me as you flew past, wasn’t it?
Badger Nov 2021 1:00pm, 15 Nov 2021 14,357 posts	0 Badger I did indeed!
Badger Nov 2021 1:01pm, 15 Nov 2021 14,358 posts	0 Badger Though I'm not sure if "flew" is quite the right word!
Rosehip Nov 2021 1:01pm, 15 Nov 2021 23,066 posts	0 Rosehip I flew sideways at one point
Badger Nov 2021 1:03pm, 15 Nov 2021 14,359 posts	0 Badger It made me happy that the wind was mostly blowing upslope rather than down!

stilldreaming Nov 2021 1:19pm, 15 Nov 2021 780 posts	0 stilldreaming 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 😀
Northern Exile Nov 2021 1:32pm, 15 Nov 2021 8,167 posts	0 Northern Exile 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 :-)
