Benjamin_Nevis Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Ashness Bridge, and surprise view near Keswick. Surprise view is nice, c**t of a road if it's busy though. There's a nice wee cafe right at the end of that road as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only quiet bits now seem to be the far west like Wasdale/Ennerdale. In winter. Too many memories of driving round in circles in Ambleside, Grasmere, Keswick just looking for a space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Auntie has the farm at Wasdale head. She says Wasdale has been like a bank holiday every day for months - she'll be pleased of a lockdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen them on the boating pond at Mussy though, and the Esk mouth. They're all over the place if you have the patience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all over the place if you have the patience. I walked across a patch that maybe I shouldn't have walked across, but anyway.. See at one end of the pond theres a bit with railings and 2 benches facing each other?? I walked around the right hand side and cut across the grass and some weeds (I think they were at least!) just before the wee bridge and got that shot from just beside the edge of the pond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I like the idea that there are "weeds"in the Botanics. Do you know the Botanics had or may still have its own polis? I think they were part of the Royal Parks Constabulary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
