The “helm bar” is the only cloud formation in the UK with its own name. A line of cloud that sits on top of the North Pennines like a scarf.

A couple more “do not swim” warnings for our lakes. 😔

Two more designated bathing sites in Cumbria were given “do not swim” advisories by the Environment Agency earlier this week bringing the total to four.

We’re perfectly placed on the edge on the Eden valley. A lovely shade of ochre on this map. 🌞

We best get some walking practise in then!

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!
