Tim, it's an absolute must! I hadn't been for about 30 years ...  Just don't go in the height of summer whatever you do - the roads will be absolute hell ... The countryside can be quite spectacular and of course if you like walking, you get rewarded with some incredible views. I really enjoyed being up in the Northern part where it's that bit less busy. |

If you go, be sure to visit Wast Water, probably the least known of the lakes. It's more remote and really interesting in a foreboding way. There's something about the place that has a similar feeling to parts of Loch Ness.
This is from 2010...

Tim, it's an absolute must! Well I'll have plenty of time on my hands soon, so I can fill in all my unticked travel boxes. I deliberately have pretty much covered all my long-haul destinations now (with a few holes of Japan, Laos, South Africa and Argentina), leaving Europe and the easier closer to home destinations until I retire. I still haven't been to Paris or Rome, but again nice and easy to do for an old duffer like me I need to dive Blue Corner in Palau as well and maybe cage dive with a great white, but that's cold water and I'm not too keen on cold water diving after freezing my nuts off in 14 degrees C water at Galapagos!  |

Tim, it is my dream to dive Palau and Truk - would love to do all the WW2 wrecks. Trouble is I'm not interested in re-breathers and don't do Nitrox so my options will be limited ... I think we must start a diving thread!
Paris and Rome are essential of course ...

I think we must start a diving thread! Now that's a great Idea Jules. Great pictures by the way Colin and I may be back for some hints & tips about the Lake District next year, so stick around. Windermere looks beautiful and I really like the desolate picture of Wast Water Martin, reminds me of New Zealand. I need to buy a new camera before I head off up there. |
