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).
Never visited!! why the hell not? the roads are great well when you leave the tourist areas midgies can be bad around trees but stay in the open and youll be fine, im forever getting bitten but hey ive enough blood to go around

I will visit one day. Not so easy now I'm so far away (near Munich).

Why did I never visit when I lived 100 miles away? 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.
