If you’re in the Lake District & looking for the perfect memento of your holiday then look no further! ‘Sketching a Year in Lakeland’ recently won the Lakeland Book of the Year Illustration Prize & can be bought at any Cumbrian bookshop or online inspiredbylakeland.co.uk/col…
Does anyone know who I. Dugdale, who carved this graffiti on Apr 22 1911, was? It’s near High Sweden Bridge. Any ideas @ByLakeland @Countrystride1 ?
This is a superb book. I’ve leafed through to look at the fabulous photos but now I’m slowing to take the time to read the text, which deserves my full attention. Dave’s writing is so elegant. @inspiredbylakeland @countrystride

Forty Fells now live – books available for sale and beautiful exhibition at Rheged.
What a fabulous evening listening to the Grasmere Dialect Plays excerpts. Still funny after nearly 100 years. And with excellent music too. Well done @sue_wilkinson ☺️
Book signing ‘Sketching a Year in Lakeland’ in Sam Read’s Books in Grasmere this afternoon. It was a very damp day!

It doesn’t seem to let up! 🙄💔😢 Local friends of mine clearing up an abandoned camp with firepit and litter (plus poo!💩) by the shores of Wastwater and a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) 🤬 #lakedistrict #flycamping Note the “sign” that would say NO CAMPING, NO FIRES🤔
I hear from some pals who live down south arguing it’s not bad and just hyperbole what’s happening in Cumbria…hmmmm 😳🙄😢
It’s not hyperbole at all!
Nature NEEDS SPACE too! 💧🐿️⛰️🌳
I find the naivety of some like @Right_2Roam extremely naive and upsetting and who profess a love for nature and the outdoors 😢
It’s clear to me education is key but so is enforcement.
And it’ll take time for any aspirations for many to care for nature and the outdoors they bang on about 💔
I’ve been reflecting on my visit to the ‘Everest the Hard Way’ exhibition in Grasmere - looking at my 1st edition copy of the book & realising there wasn’t a single woman on that expedition. How the world has changed, climbing is no longer viewed in the same way. Different times.

Today was a day for strollin’ and where better to stroll to but the newly re-opened Grove Barn cafe (walkers only) above Ambleside. The veggie breakfast was so delicious I’d cleaned the plate before I remembered to photograph it! And the views - just look at those views! 😍
