August 2019 A few pictures from the walk Elterwater to Ambleside & Cathedral Cavern
A good day out despite the weather warnings. We started off at Elterwater in heavy rain & headed to the Britannia for coffee. The hanging baskets were lovely with three roses outside the door (Kate, Nina Jenny).
We were not sure if the river crossing would be possible.
But it was & Nina was obviously enjoying it!
We made our way to Cathedral Cavern. This was the entrance tunnel.

It is spectacular as these photos show. I spent some time exploring and went along the long tunnel where a torch was a necessity.

No matter how hard she tried Kate couldn’t get the pound coin out of the money tree.
A woodpile.
Colwith Force was spectacular.
A beer in the Talbot at Skelwith Bridge was good before finishing with a walk over the hills to Ambleside. This beer is brewed in Wasdale and is named after the chief chef’s dog “Bogi”.
Pictures of the December 2018 walk in Northumberland & Xmas Party
In December we were doing various walks in the delightful Kielder Valley and here are some pictures taken along the way and of the party atmosphere that pervades our last walk of the year.

Mungrisdale to Caldbeck
A good days walking over the fells ending at the delightful Oddfellows Arms pub in Caldbeck. We (John, George, Roger & I) took a variation on the suggested route two by climbing up Bannerdale Crags before getting back on track at Bowscale Fell.
The Caldew River crossing was interesting but we managed without having to wade. My walking poles made the crossing 13 times as they were thrown back to help others cross (Guys, thanks for the pint in recognition of that). One of the highlights was new born lambs that had been dropped in a field. The farmer was collecting them to put with the other ewes in the lambing area.
The Jennings Ale was most welcome in the Oddfellows Arms where there was a party atmosphere, so much so that I had to leave my car in Newton Aycliffe and beg a lift from Sheila to get home!
