The Lake District.

As you may or may not no I have just stared to take more photographs and after getting a new better camera have been told ,you must go and photograph the Lake District.

I have never been north of Blackpool and havn't got a clue about this area.

We are now thinking of going in Sept next year, (the only time we can fit it in )
So what I need is info please, best places to see, stay etc.

 

Hi Lyn, Welcome to the world of the Lake District What accomadation are you planning on staying in,eg Guest House,Campsite B&B,Hotel? etc..

We went this year for two weeks in September staying on a real nice campsite in Keswick.We have already booked up for next year as the campsite we stayed on near Keswick,CastleRigg Hall has lovely views over Derwent Water and Cat Bells,and people book up from one year to the next whilethey are staying on the site...

There is lots to do whether you are interested in Photography, Birdwatching,Walking,etc.It will all depend on what your interests are and your abilities.If you are not into high level walks,then there are some really pretty walks that can be done at a nice comfortable level.I reccommend you buy yourself a good pair of walking boots,lightweight or heavy duty depending on your preference.

If you have a look at the Non Gardening Thread,I have recently put up some of my photo's and also Shiney has some under the Muppets section from when he goes up there.He will put you right if there is anything you need to know as he is quiet well raed on the subject and I don't think he will mind me saying so :D

Good Luck and if you need to know anything else please let us know
