The Dog Friendly Lake District

Happy New Year to all our friends out there.

As a special new Year treat I am bringing you an article that I found in the nether reaches of the internet. Enjoy!

Dog Friendly Pubs in the Lake District

Cumbria is a great place for dogs. Wherever you to, you’ll see visitors and [...]

The Mortal Man in Troutbeck gets its sign back

The Mortal Man has now lost its “The Mortal Man Experience” sign – the brainchild of the last owner who seemed to be intent on trying to fill it with vodka and champagne cocktail slurping yuppies. That didn’t work did it ?

Now that it’s been turned back into  a grand Lake District pub [...]

The Brown Horse at Winster

The Brown Horse, Winster

Lakeland Radio 100.1 and 100.8 FM

Well,  a few weeks back I entered a competition on Lakeland Radio, the prize for which was lunch for two at the Brown Horse at Winster.  No one was more surprised than me to get Yakkers on the end of my mobile [...]

Last night we went up to try out the pub again and I am really happy to say that things [...]

This pub is in a beautiful old building in Troutbeck and has magnificent views from it’s beer garden.

Over the last 2 years or so the reputation of this place took a dive as the last, now thankfully departed, [...]

Garden Trails and Pub Lunches make a great week

It’s been a bit mixed weather-wise this week, and as I type this I am looking out at a mizzle of rain drifting across the Troutbeck valley. It’s still lovely though:-)

Walking with the wind in your face / sailing close to it

It’s been a bit blowy up here today, but it was great to get Suki out for a decent walk.  Heading into the wind along the path by Dubbs reservoir certainly cleared out the cobwebs, although Suki did find something absolutely atrocious smelling to roll in (fox pooh?) – she smelt totally minging when [...]
