Quite a nice part of the world Gosforth and Seascale,but if your up in the lakes go visit the likes of Ambleside,Windermere and Grasmere.I love those places,great for walking,a few pints,decent restaurants and some amazing scenery.
never got into that side of the lakes really, had enough on my doorstep, with scafell, wastwater, eskdale, ennerdale etc etc... we spent our child hood in blengdale forest, making bivys and camping out for days on end, we would walk up sty head pass and camp alongside the tarn and make brews for the fell walkers, in the summers we would earn a few quid hay bailing for the farmers, idyllic childhood, would ALL be banned by health and safety now I'm sure!!!! Its no surprise to me kids turn out so badly now, when you compare the upbringing i had (with pisss all money I have to say) to what they have now, all fur coat and no knickers kids upbringing now, they get all the top gear and games etc but don't have the chance to exercise, team build, get imagination, get fresh air and be brought up by the community like i did. I feel very sorry for the youth of today, many of them don't stand a chance...soz bit of a tangent there!!!!!
