We best get some walking practise in then!

Research has shown that your walking speed can predict your chance of being hospitalised and even dying: https://bbc.in/3HwvIn8

Good to see Penrith get a mention.

Spanning 2,362 square kilometres, it's little surprise how many corners of the Lake District National Park there are to discover

There’s no such thing as bad weather in Cumbria…. just the wrong clothing.

Great walk!

Looking for a new walking route this year? How about the Eamont Way, a 5.5 mile walking route from Penrith Railway Station to Pooley Bridge Steamer Pier.

The route follows the course of the river Eamont, crossing it twice. It starts with a series of signed pedestrian crossings from the railway station to the edge of the town, then follows a series of signed footpaths, bridleways and ‘permitted paths’ to exit at ‘The Sun Inn’ in Pooley Bridge. From there it is less than 1/2 mile to the pier for the Ullswater Steamers where onward lake travel to Howtown and Glenridding is on offer and onward from Glenridding to Aira Force.

You could get the bus back into Penrith for just £3 single fare!

Walk up Arthur’s Pike from Helton Fell. Only a small amount of ascent for great views and secluded fells. Fell Ponies not guaranteed but often accompany you!

Eden Viaducts walk is one of the best walks we’ve done.

If you are thinking of wild camping this is useful.

A stroll around Ennerdale takes nearly 3 hours but with no roads it feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere.

A stroll up Dufton Pike. An ancient volcano!
Only 20 mins from us. You won’t see another soul, and you can see the entire Lake District from the top!
