I took a few days off this October and using a rail rover ticket managed to get out and about in the lake district and Penines.. Highly recommend the Fredom of the North West Rail Rovers (you can do a whole week for £66 between Blackpool, Liverpool, Chester, Manchester, Leeds, Carlisle and Dumfries) and there is a 4 in * day one as well).
Autumn in the Lakes can be spectacular and I didn't get bad weather, much better anyway than the church weekend at Rydal in September.. I had a nice walk round Grasmere with photos at
Then on the Saturday I took my bike on the train up to Ravenglass and road up to Wasdale Head. This is more or less the first time I've been to Wast Water and I can see why many people think it is the most spectacular of all the lakes. The weather was good with sun burning through the cloud swirling round the high peaks.
I'm really very pleased with the set of photos which you can see at
On the Friday I went the other way to Halifax and Bingley.. More Urban but some great mellow yellow stone architecture. Before long the album of pix from that day will be up too.
