The Lakes and the Fellrangers completed in July 2016

Had another great fortnight dodging the showers. But who cares about getting wet? I don't. I swam in Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite Lake and Loweswater on the way back from Carlisle (Daddy was shopping or something) - a long drive but worth it for the swimming.



After a couple of climbs up Beacon Fell, I also climbed my last 3 Fellrangers - Knockmurton, Bell Crags and Wallowbarrow.

Another wet fortnight in the Lakes January 2016

This fortnight was not as disappointing for me as it was for Daddy. I got to swim twice every day and walked up Beacon Fell and Brock Barrow. However, we did not manage any day walks in the mountains because it was so wet and windy due to storms Gertrude and Henry. We came home a day early to avoid storm Imogen.

Had a great reunion with some of Daddy's friends he met in India.  They like walking so I like them!  Here are the main walks:

A wet time in the Lake District

Well, it rained and it rained and it rained. But who cares? I love swimming and I couldn't get enough of it. Coniston Water was overflowing, which is unusual for this time of year, but it isn't as high as last October when the boathouse was flooded.

I went on some great local walks and, on the only fine day, a high level one up Coniston Old Man. Here are our recorded walks (ie excluding the short ones down to the lake).

Today, we did a short walk up Beacon Fell, past (and in, of course) Beacon Tarn and up Wool Knott, another geriatric Wainwright.

Lake District November Day 1

This is the first of a series of logs of my walkies with Daddy's friends in the Lake District last month. On 21 November, we went up Beacon Fell. I am getting very familiar with this as it is the local hill.

The Lake District is fabulous (part 1)

Daddy said I would enjoy it and I did! I have learned to swim and Daddy can't keep me out of the water. I climbed three peaks - Beacon Fell (twice), Brockbarrow and Lingmoor and I walked from Skelwith Bridge to Elterwater and back. I could have done a lot more but apparently this would be bad for my joints and bones at my age. (The only downside is the number of ticks I got - yuck!) I can't wait to go back again. As soon as I arrived home, I jumped into the pond!

Here are some pictures of my exploits.
