All Roads Lead to the Lake District
May 19, 2008We’ve been in the Lake District this weekend; Joe’s school had an activity weekend in Brrowdale, Mr Uhdd had a fell race to run and Tom’s school had a choir event in the South Lakes. I played out with the camera.
The Sunday morning dawned bright and clear, Mr Uhdd woke early and felt the need to share this information with me, in fact he was more direct he said ‘You need to get out with the camera, NOW!’ So at 06:00hrs on Sunday morning I was at the Summit of the Honister pass, it was a special place to be.
Despite the ridiculous time, it was so still and tranquil
Well it was tranquil until, I came across a quartet of cockerels at the Honister Slate mine, they were cock a doodle doing as such birds do at sunrise, (take a look at the mines web site for some excellent aerial photos of the area.)
the sound reverberated for miles down the pass, (Kingmagic, you would have been impressed.)
I’ve another busy week ahead, before the children break for half term holidays, so I might just drip feed you Lakeland scenes, watch this space.
The Lake District is such a beautiful area. I look forward to seeing more photos.
Even tho’ the scenes are in Englandshire, I will describe your photos as very bonnie. Now stop enjoying yourself and get on with that meme!
Clearly you didn’t take your shotgun with you! lol.
Beautiful photos! How did you get to the top of the Honister Pass, I wonder. Did Mr UHDD make you run up or were you allowed to take the car?
I drove! But I did think about all the folk that must have had to walk up there each day to work in slate mine.
