Yesterday Tom went to the Windermere Air Festival with friends and we took the opportunity to do our favourite walk around Dubbs reservoir.. We do this walk a lot but we never get tired of it as there is always something new to make it interesting. As we climbed up from Limefitt Park the [...]

We invested £8.99 in a work light from Homebase last week. We clipped it to the rail on the decking, fired it up and spread out the peanut butter sandwiches. The Badger Light It only took a few minutes before we saw our first badgers and we were able to see them [...] Over the time I’ve been coming to the Lakes seeing a buzzard soaring overhead has gone from being a rare treat to something more commonplace. Having said that, seeing one stalling on a thermal overhead is still a magical thing. Today, at the end of my walk as I approached Limefitt Park I saw [...] I’ve had an outstanding task for a few months now since I told www.walkingworld.com that I’d add a circular walk up from Troutbeck up to Orrest Head. This is a lovely gentle walk up tothe top of one of the lowest fells in the Lakes. At only just over 750 feet it hardly qualifies [...] This mother sheep and lamb can currently be seen wandering around Limefitt Park in Troutbeck. They are escapees from the fellside I think. This you tube video is taken from our deck. I promise that we were not barbecuing lamb chops at the time! [...] One of the highlights of The Lakes for nature lovers is the annual return of the Bassenthwaite Ospreys.

Applethwaite Fell [...] I took Suki for a walk through the mizzle this afternoon. As we were walking down past Troutbeck Church I heard a frantic screeching coming from the copse over the road and saw what looked like a buzzrd flying down to the beck. We crossed over in time to see a woodpecker escape from [...] It’ a lovely crisp autumn morning here in Troutbeck. The leaves are turning and this tree looked stunning in the early morning light as the sun crested Applethwaite Fell.
Tree at Limefitt Park It will be even better next week! [...] Last night, inspired by Spring Watch, we decided to set up our own hide with state of the art lighting and video recording equipment. So we opened the bedroom window and stuck our lounge floor lamp by it (no infra red heat seeking gear here I’m afraid), angled the reading light part out of [...] |
