Thankyou. They're all just snapshots really, done on my phone, but I'm quite pleased with how most have come out.

@Rickshaw Phil you need a holiday from the holiday now, what amazing cycling!
Scary the mountain you climbed
If this was celebrating your 40th, what will you be up to on your 50th
Well done!

I feel quite refreshed. It was good to get away and I didn't want to come back.

I'd say climbing Coniston Old Man isn't for everyone. It is one of the easier ones for those who do want to try though. 50th?? I'm still coming to terms with 40 so haven't thought that far ahead yet.

I know. I'm not quite sure what happened to my 30's. I think I blinked and missed them.

time to admire steam launch Mosquito

Depending on what day it was, you just missed Hover Fly and me, Mosquito and Shamrock are the two boats I have been training on pending Osprey's completion. We were on Mossy on Friday afternoon, arriving on Aurora (a lot smaller) from the museum about dinner timeish.

It was Friday. We were down at the jetty about 10.30 while she was still being steamed up and polished. We did see her again later on out on the lake so you'd probably have been aboard by then.

Lovely pictures btw. I live on the edge of the Lake District it's a beautiful place, by the looks of your photo's it looks like you were lucky with the weather. Well done with all the climbing on the bike and off it.

Have really enjoyed this thread. We live in South Lakes, well maybe just south of south lakes really lol and recognised a good few of those places from trips out. Just to make you feel better my mini me climbed the Old Man when she was three years and two months old and did it all herself...fuelled by Haribo starmix lol. The lakes are my most favourite place of all.
