How was your morning dog walk? When you visit the Lake District, this is what your morning dog walks can look like.

Any guesses where Alasdair is?

People say the Lake District it’s over crowded. This weekend the fine weather did bring everybody out and the roads were busy. But with such a vast amount of space a lot of people spreads out. Here’s a video Alasdair took this afternoon on his walk up Helvellyn, one of the most popular mountains in the Lake District.

Have you been to the ? Next time@you’re visiting Keswick, or even the Lake District, then get yourself down there for a break from the hills.

Here you can get a lovely coffee AND hire a radio controlled digger or dumper truck!

Pre booking is very much recommended.

We went for Sophie’s birthday, but there were lots of adults there and we all had an amazing time.

The nights are drawing in, but as ever the cause and effect we start to see the northern lights back at Low Nest.

Have you been to Lowther? It’s more than just the main castle and gardens. Outside is a massive old deer park that you can gently stroll round. However if you have two wheels (you can also hire onsite), there are numerous delightful cycling trails to enjoy.

Dog walks in the Lake District are in a league of their own. This was a short hour there and back walk from the Blencathra field centre. A simple quick dog walk, but just look at those views! All the way up St John’s in the Vale.

Yesterday we went for a hike, in the rain, up to castle crag in borrowdale. It’s one of our favourite walking routes in the Lake District and will try to do a full video guide in the future. But as we walked up the rain eased a little, we stopped and looked across to watch the sun break through the clouds. We all just stood and soaked in the beautiful view in front of us.

Yes it rains in the Lake District, but that’s what makes it so beautiful, the contrast and life the wet was brings. If you don’t like the liquid sun, then go to Benidorm. And if you don’t like people that moan about rain then come to the Lake District. It’s why we’re happier people up here.

With the kids back at school we’ve enjoyed getting adventurous for a couple of hours a day. Today we broke through the intermittent showers and went to one of our favourite wild swimming spots in the whole Lake District, Loweswater.

Alasdair took some drone shots, but we couldn’t decide which one to post. So we put up all three. Which one is your favourite?

We love autumn, it’s one of our favourite time of year in the Lake District. We just went for a walk up Barrow behind Braithwaite and captured a moody picture of the rain rolling in. However we used a bit of AI to turn it into a video.

The high fells are already in the turn, early this year. But there will be plenty of beauty come November when we still have some availability.

We’ve just got back from an amazing day exploring the sunken village of Mardale in the east of the Lake District, which got flooded in the 1930s to create Haweswater reservoir.

Every couple of years, after a long dry summer, like we’ve just had, remnants of this old world resurface. A lot of the houses were stripped and knocked down. However the lonnins (Cumbrian word for country lanes) and dry stone walls are still there to be walked along.

It was interesting finding the boundaries of old houses, even some old render of a house, particularly thinking many of the houses would have been the same as Low Nest.

It was also hard to explain to the girls that people just had to leave. There wasn’t a huge amount of say in the matter. That was the times. However we’ve still got UU on our field having had no say in them coming across it.

Normally this out of the way valley is very quiet. We expected it to be busy and while we were surprised how many cars there were there was plenty of considerate parking on the road and the actually dried lake was quite quiet. Just a note that it was VERY MUDDY!

We’ve got a bit of rain coming in now so it’ll only fill up now, but next September it could be just as dry.

We’ll do another reel tomorrow of the ground level adventure. But here is some drone footage rudimentarily clipped together with very little editing.
