The Lake District ... stunning !!

[Threeinarow]

We go cycling around the lake district every year for 4 days. Absolutely love it. Can't bloody wait to do it again.

We haven't been this year though. Last time we went my mate came off his bike coming down Honnister Pass into Buttermere, which was a bit nasty. He was very lucky not to be seriously injured, but he took a lot of skin off and mangled his bike.

Riding over the Kirkstone Pass in a blizzard in February a few years ago was a challenge too.

Absolutely love the Lake District. Not been for a couple of years actually, need another trip. And I know this is sacrilege to proper Lake District aficionados but I even like a visit to Bowness!

Haha I love Bowness. I can spend all day in the Hole in the Wall!

Windermere has got some good bars now too.

We go every year, love it. We walk to Ambleside and get the boat back.

apart from the weather

why would you go elsewhere other than the UK.

You answered your own question.

The world has so many more beautiful places the the Lake District too.

Distington or Cleator Moor.

I married a girl from Cleator Moor many years ago. We would go up to stay with her family sometimes and have a night out - what a fucking eye opener that was! Blokes playing pool on a table so soaked with beer that the balls left a spray as they moved. The men’s bogs had one of those old wall length urinals that went down to floor level with a drain at one end. It had blocked and the floor was swimming in piss, fag ends and god knows what else so the barman got a pool cue, poked it at the drain til it unblocked and then put the cue back on the table!
The wife was fucking bonkers too.....

As nice as they are, they’re more like ponds.
