Gotothelakes: There's money in them there hills!!
http://gotothelakes.blogspot.com/2012/11/theres-money-in-them-there-hills.html
Friday, 30 November 2012. There's money in them there hills! Like the old milestones that can still be seen on country roads or the ornate water fountains that decorate the kerb sides of some of the region's older villages, these relics are symbols of a bygone age. Placed there for a long forgotten purpose, they lie unused. Put simply, once they had outgrown their purpose, no one bothered to take them away again. Or the seats on the path to Post Knott? In Windermere, or rather on. Stock Ghyll Park in Amb...

Gotothelakes: What a load of nuts!!!!
http://gotothelakes.blogspot.com/2012/11/what-load-of-nuts.html
Tuesday, 27 November 2012. What a load of nuts! This latter problem was the first to be fixed, since there are few things worse than standing in the shed and feeling a drip. As I propped the ladder against the side of the shed ready to climb up to asses the damage, I noticed a walnut lying on the ground. Since we don't have a walnut tree, nor do any of our neighbours, I was a little puzzled by this. First on the suspect list were the local youths (aren't they always? The biggest clue to where these walnu...

Gotothelakes: January - the forgotten month
http://gotothelakes.blogspot.com/2013/01/january-forgotten-month.html
Sunday, 13 January 2013. January - the forgotten month. Tis January. Christmas is over, and has been packed back into it's boxes and stored in the loft until next year. The new year revelry has died down, and the slow trudge back to work has begun. The schools are full of children wishing it was three weeks ago. Life has returned to normal. To find out what is on and when, check out the What's on guide. For attractions that are open I've spent a few days compiling this comperhensive list. Fancy a break i...

Gotothelakes: Things you can't do in the Lake District before Christmas
http://gotothelakes.blogspot.com/2012/11/things-you-cant-do-in-lake-district.html
Wednesday, 21 November 2012. Things you can't do in the Lake District before Christmas. If you are wondering whether or not to succumb to the idea that you can save a pot load of money on hotel accommodation by taking a break in the Lake District between now and Christmas, allow me to sway your thinking. Basically, before you book that bargain basement priced hotel break, I think you ought to know about all the stuff that you can't do in the Lake District at this time of year. It's not right. It shou...

Gotothelakes: April 2013
http://gotothelakes.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 25 April 2013. Honister - I had to do it, and so do you! No, there was nothing at Honister that I would consider to be the slightest bit appealing, which is why, when asked to go, I tried my very hardest to get out of it. But the big boss man was otherwise engaged. (I say big, he's five foot five! So I put my prejudice to one side, bit the bullet and did what I had to do for the Cumbrian Tourism industry. (Double pay for the day and an extra day off also helped swing it! The cavern that has bee...

Gotothelakes: October 2012
http://gotothelakes.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 31 October 2012. How to keep your parents occupied on holiday when it rains. It's half term. And it's raining. After seeing the pictures from New Jersey this morning I get the feeling that things could be a lot worse, but even so, the thought of a day of rain is not exactly going to make most of the holiday makers in the Lake District dance for joy. The key question is, what to do about it? They are not content with the idea that you can simply fire up the Play Station, or go for a swim, or vi...
