One day in the Lake District, what would you do?

[ChrisFilter]

No Derrick Bird jokes, please.

Will probably be arriving early on Friday and leaving lunchtime on Sat. Staying in Kendal. Where to go, what to see? We have a car so can cover distances.

Thanks

Chris

Fuck off to Windermere, go to the bookshop there, then do my favourite walk - Orrest Head. Then walk down to the Sun pub for a few jars, before walking back to Windermere, eating something nice in one of the pubs/restaurants, before heading down to the lake for evening spliffage and a hipflask full of Drambuie, watching the sun go down




sorry - don't really know Kendal

 

[ChrisFilter]

Right, Windermere it is

Go to Scotland instead of a poor imitation with added tea rooms and overcrowding.

Bit of a drive from Kendal though, eh?

Take a trip on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and then take a cruise on the lake.

Lovely!

I'm already in Scotland, sat overlooking Loch Rannoch as I type.

In fact I took this from our balcony last night:

However it was a long drive up here so I thought I'd break the journey home in two by staying in the Lake District.

So ner

Booked in a nice B&B overlooking Windermere

In these circumstances your actions are forgiveable.

Although you should have got the sleeper train up there instead of driving.

Nice pic

and re Windermere - hope you have a lovely time there You can get to the lake in a number of ways, but my fave is a small cobbly track that's opposite to the Orrest Head sign for the start of that walk.

No!! Depends on where you are. Glasgow to Kendal wouldn't take long for example.
Didn't take me long to get down to Silloth and less time to get home

Funnily enough I'm spending a day in Kendal next month. However that is already booked to spend getting ratted with some friends.
