Really good pics - good job. To think I only just finished watching Richard wilson driving around the lakes in a TR3 on BBC2.
I have a question for you - how is it with mosquitoes and midgies in the lakes? I imagine it'd be bad. I come from 100 miles south east of the lakes but unbelievably I never visited (yet).

I'll never know. I think it might be that when I lived in the north-east I was a poor student and had a piece of crap car. I only struck it rich after I'd left.
