Lovely shots there Simon, never really explored the lake district much, always imagined it as a tourist trap and all commercialised (sp?)....

Yeh it is I suppose. But some of it is truly beautiful scenery. Just avoid it at bank holiday weekends, it gets alot of visitors.

How is Fisherground these days? We first went years back when it was pretty quiet. Last went a couple of years ago and it was heaving.

Looks a lovely place, I like the slow shutter speed on the river pics.
