Any of you been in The Station pub at Ribblehead?

Any of you been in The Station pub at Ribblehead?

Yeah you wait there for the bus that takes you right over to Richmond

Any good? Does it have sky? At ten quid with a dales railcard a day ranger on that Settle line is a decent value day out.

No idea about Sky and i think opening times revolve around the buses

Do you use those vouchers that are in the papers as i think theyre active with them at the minute ?

Nah not sure what they are to be honest?

Lovely view of Lake fells from ower here... 4 day break in a lovely Caravan.

Cracking pictures of the homeland on this thread. As an expat down in Bedfordshire I wouldn't mind printing some of these off as pictures for the office - show these southerners what they're missing!

Would any of you that have posted have any objections to me using your photos? ....and if you are OK with it, would you be happy sharing a decent sized file with me so that I can print off - if I can let you know which ones.

No worries if you don't want to....I can still show the thread off to jealous workmates!

Lutonblue..I have no probs sharing a vast selection of pics if you would like a few to blow up and use in frames. Send me an email markredfox73@hormail.com and i shall post a file ...any requests welcome

Cheers Alan & Mark. Dumb question...how do I DM???

My son is climbing Great Gable at the moment for today's remembrance service at the summit.

Driving down to walk Dove Crag this morning had to stop a take this pic of Ullswater.

Now that's just showing off Alan.

Re. the Lakes, just been watching a clip of the locals in Venice demonstrating about house prices, letting homes, tourist numbers etc. Mirrors the problems in the L D for me but something that doesn't seem to be talked up much.

Spent a week with family in Gt Langdale over the summer and was mortified at what I saw: literally the whole village owned by letting companies. Looked a bit further and found the the village school had surveyed and found 80 PC were holiday homes.

Like Venice, the place is nothing but a tourist playground with the local community fabric gone! Tragic and I'm amazed people have just sat back and watch it happen! As for the NP Authority,t they should be ashamed of themselves! Apparently, preserving the local culture and traditions only include drystone walling and sheep numbers but not local, human communities!

Bit like Christmas on Blencathra yesterday morning
Great start to a Cracking day the match was the icing on the cake.

Great pics alan...thanks.

today we done Haystacks, parked at Honister, grankids done the full ridge with the mrs...i drove and picked them up at Fish Hotel..not daft me nice real beer , and a proper pie :lol:

good point today...dreading January, with the gross 3 in charge

Good pics..fells always look great with a bit of snow on them.

Haystacks is probably one on the best walks in the lake district Cumbrianblue cracking views from the top throw in Inominate Tarn and a walk round Buttermere perfect!
Won't be out till after Christmas now but here's my favourite pic of this year taken from the edge of Buttermere looking across to Fleetwith Pike.

Great pic..looks perfect doesnt it.

One of my favourites hikes. Lovely.

What a beautiful photo-sitting in a cafe in London and can't even see the sky

Been a while since I bored the life out of the forum but just after new year we did Place and Sleet fells over the back of Ullswater this from top of sleet Fell.

A pic of the Helvellyn Range from Place Fell too.

Yet to do that one marra but i expected that type of view at the top.. a good yan.
Im gonna try some wild camping this year hopefully and bag a few more wainwrights in the process..could be interesting weather in random places..

Hi Alan

Would you mind if I joined you on one of your walks?I don't really know anyone over your way who could take me up for a day out and don't want to do it at this time of year on my own.

Good job you're a Brexiteer or he'd show you the quick way down from Striding Edge.

Laffy I don't know how to put this but a mystery Fell walker has been just been in touch can you hang on for five to ten days for a decision on our potential Fell walk as I have to listen to their offer.
Sorry about this
Alan.

Don't get this shit Man you diggin me

Looking forward to a picture of Laffy in his Garmin hat on top of Scafell this weekend Alan.

So glad I clicked on this thread today after reading the other depressing shit about the football!

Love the Lakes. Only return once a year these days. My wife always allows me a day to myself, to climb something the kids can't. I get them up some smaller ones though and often take a morning/evening run up a small fell.

I'll have to put some pics up after my next trip (April). Hopefully do the Coniston Fells, take the kids up Hallin Fell and run Binsey... weather permitting!

Cheers for cheering me up after another crappy result.

Hoping to have a day out at Haweswater this year

Try to spot the Golden Eagles

Good luck with that. There's only been one eagle since his mate died in 2004 and he hasn't been seen for over a year.
