Lakeland Walker

Mountain Rescue - outdoors folk working together in harmony!

“Mutant plague-bearing ticks run rampant on UK moors” … always wanted to write a headline like that.
Ticks and Lyme disease have always been something all fell-walkers should to be aware of; however now there’s a new tier of concern for us – regardless of how low the risk is – dog owners in particular.

What a marvellous achievment this is! Congratulations to Paul Tierney on his historic, record-setting run around all 214 Wainwrights.

Great undertaking and great spirit of the fells!

Happy ending – always best outcome.

Last call folks!
Many thanks for all the responses so far … some great recommendations.
Have to wrap it up very soon … still room for a handful though!

So folks, is Eskdale the least-visited valley in the Lake District?
Surprisingly few responses so far to our plea for your recommendations about where to stay, eat and drink… we’d love to share the best of Eskdale with LW readers.
Sincere thanks to those who’ve responded so far – clearly connoisseurs of the very best Lakeland has to offer!
... Post replies here or email t’editor at johnm@dalesman.co.uk.
Have fun!

Love this … great and lovely things ‘appen in Lakeland!

Good arguments for not using hydrophobic down in every application.
Discuss! 😀
