Happy Birthday Woolly Blue

Cheers lads.

Wasn't raining, so I nipped* up Helm Crag ( Grasmere ) on the way up to the North Lakes this afternoon.

May well wash tonight's curry down with a couple of beers !


*at 62, nipping up a fell takes much longer than it did at 22 though !

All the best old timer, long time no hear !

Whereabouts in the North Lakes ?

Wrap up well, bleak up there at this time of the year.
 

We're house / flat hunting mate.

Up in Cockermouth at the mo, looking at a few houses, then having a look at some flats / houses between Levens and Staveley back end of next week.

The West coast is very overlooked and quite a bit cheaper too.

Some lovely little villages - Great Urswick, Baycliffe and around there. Not touristy at all, apart from cyclists and twenty minutes away from everything.

Got mates who live around there and I‘ve got to know the area well over the years.

They'd be fine, but I want to be within walking distance of civilisation and, ideally, somewhere close to a reasonably decent theatre for gigs.

Those places are in a lovely bit of countryside, but the likes of Barrow and, to a lesser extent Ulverston are, even to me, a cultural wasteland.

Around Kendal ticks lots of boxes ( Brewery Arts etc ) , and is close to fast trains to that London place, but has the downside of being close to the South Lakes which is overrun by tourists in season.

Cockermouth's a better bet for the Lakes and isn't a honey pot, but isn't as good for other stuff.

First World problems and all that.
