Bank Holiday at Buttermere

the beck that drains out of buttermere and enters crummock water downstream

 

Awesome Cumberland.
We did note Crummock Water when we were walking there.

 

Stunning pictures cumberland...brought back memories of our holiday there a couple of years back.....:luv:

 

thanks roders & paladin

all the lakes/meres/waters & tarns are beautiful, i have them on my doorstep and love going out & about, and now that I have joined the digital camera & computer age i am hopefully going to do a lot more photographing

yesterday as i ambled around the lakeshore (approx 4 miles and took 2hr 30mins - i did not rush it) i felt i was in some magical land (the weather was superb)

If anyone has never been to the LD and is thinking of coming here then I would strongly recommend this little corner of it, the walk is mostly flat, a few little hills on the path but never higher than 80ft above the shoreline (you can go higher if you want) a cut through tunnel and a few rocky outcrops on the path in places, and a little section walking on the road, make this a fairly easy-ish walk to do

can be a bit muddy in places so as always take care and use good footwear

heres a pic of some tiny fish in the lake, swimming acrossa piece of slate

 

more fabulous pictures cumberland just awesome well done

 

Wonderful pics. ,wonderful place Cumbria (wonderful people us Cumbrians lol )

 

thankyou gogs and rosa

yan, tan, tethera, methera, pim, lethera, sethera, hovera. dovera, dick
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten

used to count like this at infants school after 'proper' maths class had ended
our teacher used to live on a farm and her dad used the 'cumberland' language when counting sheep

has anyone ever heard anyone say 'gis yan' which means 'give us one' LOL
apparently the cumberland language was a branch of the norse/viking era

so many names have viking links like 'tarn dale & fell'
hellvelyn, blencathra and places ending in 'wick' (keswick) 'thwaite' (crossthwaite) 'by' (appleby) come from our norse ancestors

Buttermeres name means 'the lake by the dairy pastures'

right i've rambled on a bit so time for for some ssshhh
