Just LOVE Cumbria. Our annual trek to brother-in-law in Eskdale.

And Lancashire cheese en route.

Hello Tim,we went through to Eskdale to take the kids on the Ravenglass railway. We came through the Wrynose Pass and the Hardknott pass. I was breath taken at the scenery. I didn't take many pics as I was too busy looking and drinking it in!

Great pics Heidi.  Took me back a few years and rasied some great memories for the last time I was in that area on holiday was when I did my A-levels!    Still love it though although my favourite place is further over for the waterfall at Ingleborough.

Fantastic Heldi. I am Cumbrian by birth & went to school in Keswick. Those passes are so fantastic. Sigh!

Stunning photos Heldi :)  When we went to the Lake  District a few years ago, we went on the Ravenglass railway (even took the dogs on, they loved it :D).  As well as plenty of still photos I took a video of our journey which is great as we can relive the ride over and over :D
Happy gardening all...........Pat

Lovely photos, Heldi - & what wonderful scenery.  I'm very jealous (not of the camping though!!).

Thanks everyone.   ;D

That sunset was unbelievable. I grabbed my camera out from the tent and ran up a hill. Took stacks of pics. It is a view across Ullswater. 

It was lovely to sit under the stars even though it was cold on those clear nights. Where I live there is often too much cloud or mist rolling in from the sea to get a clear look.

It's a beautiful place indeed.   I'm off there to see dad and stepmum at the end of October and hope to do my usual lightning tour of the best passes and lakes - and the garden centres!
