Hi everyone!
The day after returning to England, I went to the Lake District for a week! Here are some photos !!
This one was taken by Bassenthwaite Lake! I had jet lag and was awake at 4.00am!
The lake is in the northern area and is very peaceful!
and for those who want, you can check it out on a map or google earth!
In Keswick, there is a famous pencil museum, here is their old van !
Their page is
here !
this is near to the jetty on Derwent Water ! I took the ferry across the lake and back.
and on returning, called in for refresments! This sign was a tad interesting, especially when you consider where it is displayed!!
Better move on!! In the evening, here was a great pub, only 20 minutes walking !
I did take photos of and in the pub but forgot my esato paper so,,, not posted.. The beer was great!!
Here is a
link for the brewery homepage!
The next day, went for a drive and ended up at a quaint cafe in Caldbeck!
Lots of Jams and other preserves !
Just around the corner was a picturesque stream with cottages !
Moving on! Loweswater is another beautiful place with an inn, called the Kirkstyle Inn tucked away!
Their page is
here
The view from outside is great and there is even a church next to the pub No comments about religious drinkers..
To tell the truth, I don`t drink anymore,,,,,,,,,,,, but I don`t drink any less!!
The food and beer was excellent! The inn even brews it`s own beers!!
Time for a break! Part 2 coming in a few minutes!

Gee ofiaich, we were in The Lake District around then as well; would've been keeewl to meet a fellow Esatonian around Cumbria.
We were by the Derwent Water and Bassenthwaite Lake on the way up to Keswick and Cockermouth too, as well as Kendal, Windermere and Ambleside as we drove around Lakes Windermere and Coniston Water.
Drove past the old slate mine museum on the way to Buttermere along the B5289.

thanks goldenface and amawanga !
Yes, it would have good to meet! Need a thread that publicises members travel plans!
I went to Windermere but too touristy here for me! But touristy places are OK in Japan !!
and
On the way back, stopped off at Grasmere !! A bit busy there but good atmosphere!
There was also a small quaint building, that was pehaps a gatehouse on a bridge in times gone by!
Last ones coming now!! I also drove through the Honister Pass! Not the scariest but some drivers not prepared to give an take,,,,,,
I fell asleep on this rock...
but no esato paper here, just an Old Esatonian !!
After this, went on to Ullswater !
Ferry in the background.
Then on to visit the Aira Force waterfalls!
Then a nice drive back through the Kirkstone Pass and back to base!!
Thats probably Grasmere Water in the distance!!
Now then!! For Esatonian`s that are also CAMRA members, here is a good pint!!
I bet someone argues that it is too full and needs more froth!
Take a bubble bath if you want froth!!!
Hope you all enjoyed!!

Loch Ness, Highlands, Scotland.
Oh, and no sign of 'Nessie'; perhaps the creature spotted me first...

@jo
it didn't need to be because the range of dates was written on it!
But the other pages in that notebook are full of notes and new contacts!
Next trip to Japan is March 2008 so more piccies from Japan then...
