a hint of bergamot: Derwent Water from Skiddaw

Tuesday, January 6, 2009

I took this a couple of years ago on the way up Skiddaw in the Lake District. If you get the chance go to Keswick and climb some hills.

Existential Punk said...: Thanks Stewart! i lived in Northern Ireland for 2 years and summers were gorgeous with daylight sticking around until 10 p.m.! i have only been to Scotland for a couple of days when i had to renew my visa. i really want to take Katryna there and meet my friends and explore. We LOVE hiking and Katryna is NOT a big fan of the cold like i am! : i took her to NI last January and she about died! LOL!!! i wnat to go hiking and exploring up to the Highlands.

Stewart said...: I can imagine why she nearly died!

I live in Scotland, in Hamilton just outside Glasgow. We live near the motorway so the Lake District is just as close as the mountains in Scotland. We spend quite a bit of our free time camping and walking there (as you will no doubt see from my other half, Avril aka @b_positive's photos as well as mine); January 8, 2009 at 6:22 PM
