Loughrigg Fell Yesterday

We had the pleasure of taking two lovely ladies for a hike yesterday, but the day was cold and we had to get a move on.  Fortunately, both of them were very fit and we made record time up and over Loughrigg before the rain could come down.

The paths on the fellside are very confusing in mist so we were lucky to have a good view all around.

The summit in site has a large trig point on it and from the top are the most amazing views .

 One of the views is towards the Langdale Pikes, but there are others all around and it really is a good place to be and have a picnic, but it was very windy and cold, so we decided to hot foot it down to this place. Grasmere Garden Centre where the food is good and they allow dogs inside too.

We had coffee and carrot cake, perfect. We missed the rain because we made the café by 3pm when it lashed down so we had everything timed to perfection.

29th April Seniors Hike

It might be raining this week but this was the scene a week last Tuesday on what was so far the best day of the Spring.  It was just so warm and beautiful and the Langdale Pikes looked superb.   We had the very pleasant duty of escorting a group of senior hikers from Somerset for three days and this was day two when we took them to Loughrigg Tarn.  I am amazed that I was able to take this photograph with out any of them in it because a total of 28 came with us.....I had to shepherd them all behind me for this shot.

If you have a large group of hikers who need a bespoke few days in the Lakes then contact us for our rates which are very competitive. You won't be disappointed, the group from Somerset were very pleased and we chose careful routes for them because, well they were seniors.
