Lake District Landscapes - Sibling Guardians

Sibling Guardians

#BrothersWater in the #LakeDistrict can be so beautiful.

An Honour Guard of trees protects a small islet against all who would invade.

Wet feet weren't strictly necessary here but I had to cut out the shore so in I went. :-)

Dorothy Wordsworth, having left William sitting on Cow Bridge, walked beside the lake on the 16th of April 1802, delighted with ‘...the boughs of the bare old trees, the simplicity of the mountains, and the exquisite beauty of the path...the gentle flowing of the stream, the glittering, lively lake, green fields without a living creature to be seen on them.’

Get out there and Discover the Lake District!

Thanks for looking in, please feel free to like/share, always appreciated.

How to get to - Cathedral Cave, Lake District

Cathedral Cave, Little Langdale, Lake District

Following release of our Lake District Landscapes image, above, of Cathedral cave in the Lake District, we've been asked many, many times now - "How do I get to Cathedral Cavern"

"Cathedral Cavern" is available to purchase in our shop ...

So here's a short blog post to show you the way (as always there are many alternate routes)

How to get there ...

1. We parked just up the road from the Three Shires Inn in Little Langdale (post code LA22 9NZ). There is space to park on the bend opposite the 'T' junction for a few cars. Alternatively you could have a word with the staff at the Three Shires Inn, they may allow you to park there if you buy a drink or cake :-)


2. We then walked down the road for a couple of hundred metres until a sign posted footpath appeared on the right.


3. We followed the track to Slaters Bridge and stopped to take a few shots.


4. Cross the bridge and follow the track up to the main track


5. Through the gate, turn left and head along the track


6. A couple of hundred metres along the track a smaller track will fork right uphill, follow this for a short way and you're there!! :-)

Read the warning sign and in you go through the tunnel.

Enjoy!

That was the way we did it, because we wanted to stop off at Slaters Bridge first, but this looks like the easiest route. You, basically, carry on down the road instead of turning off onto the footpath. It does miss out Slaters Bridge, though.

Lake District Landscapes - Catbells

Catbells

We were unsure as to where to go on the day after our hike\climb over Walla Crag, but the actual day on Walla Crag sorted that out. Beautiful views decided it, we were going up Catbells.

With any luck, not that it was needed, there would be ample opportunity to shoot some awesome landscapes during the trip.
