The other photo with Dee in it includes two close friends of ours
Jim and Wilma who are fortunate to have a holiday lodge/cabin just outside
Aviemore that they visit pretty well every other weekend from their
home near Lanark. It's much bigger and wilder country up there as I'm
sure you know and there is no problem at all spending a day without
meeting any ( or at least very few indeed) other people. On our Sgor
Gaoith day we started in Glen Einich and also climbed Carn Ban Mor and
also saw no one else all day. Ed: Amber is half sister to our dogs, Bethan and Harry |
Hi Ann, and thanks for your reply. I almost mentioned that the guy had said the Pendle
flag stones were brought up there by helicopter. I guess he knew
what he was talking about. 30.1.07 My friend Brian informed me that we had started that walk
from Barley, a few miles past Downham and that the pub was in Barley.
A Google search found the pub, The Pendle Inn. Mystery solved. ;-))
Ed: Sorry Dave - not done that walk. Anyone any more info on the memorial ? 27.1.07 ~ Hi Roger, The memorial was erected by the families
of of the polish aircrew that crashed in WW 2. Beneath the plaque is
a bronze fox's head.The only survivor of the crash followed the tracks
of a fox in the snow to the nearst farmhouse. 28.1.07 ~Roger & Ann. Here's the story about the crash on Buckden Pike . . . Dave |

Hi Roger and Ann Thanks for the response. Hi Fred, The pub lunch sounds fine, the whole of the OFC would like to join in, but perhaps a mountain top picnic would be cheaper all round ! |
Hi Roger, Just writing to say how impressed I was by your website. I run (by comparison) a rather amateurish site for our Wharfdale Walking Group The Olicana Telephone Company There are a number of site links on our homepage in case they are of interest to walkers and I have also added a link to your site - hope you do not mind - if you do, let me know and I will remove it. Perhaps you would include a link to our site on yours? John Kelly Consider it done - Olicana, the site informs me, is the Roman name for Ilkely in Yorkshire - Good luck with your walks. |
Dear Roger, |
Hi. Firstly I would like to congratulate you a superb website. After finding my hill legs again after a long break, your website is certainly inspirational and I can't wait to get back to the Lakes. Attached is a picture I took from the summit of Pillar looking down on Wasdale with Yewbarrow to the right, taken in July this year on a very hot day. Great views of Scafell range from this point. Well done, from Mike Upton.

Buttermere Valley from Rannerdale Knotts ~ picture by Katie Smallwood Hi Roger, Thank you so much for all the wonderful pictures you post on your site.We are visitors to the Lakes and try to get up there a few times each year(although we wish it was more!). This is a picture of the Buttermere valley from Rannerdale Knotts on a cool April evening last year. As the sun went down, the light got better and better and this picture was the result! If you could post it on your site it would be really nice. Please keep up the good work and we'll keep our eyes open for your lovely dogs when we return this April! Thank you, Katie Smallwood

Ann and Roger, I have been able to look back at some of your site walks and in doing
so discovered your trip to our Northumberland My wife and I have been visiting the Lakes form any years and Keswick
is like a second home to us as we feel very much at home there with

I noticed you mentioned the bothy
in your account and wondered if you knew that it is maintained by The
Mountain Bothies Association.

Hi Roger, Just thought I’d drop a line to say how impressed I am with your website. The cloud inversion photos are superb. George and Betty gave me the web address. Cheers, Malcolm Ibbertson |
To everyone at Loweswatercam, Here's wishing you all a Very Happy Climbing
New Year. Just in case you ever get the urge to climb the very formidable Mt.
Whitney, here is a good link to what she is, and what you need to climb
her. |
Hello
Happy New Year and thank you for such spectacular photographs which myself and husband have enjoyed looking at. We live in Nottinghamshire and he and friends come at least twice per year walking in the Lake District. Happy walking during 2007. Linda McNaught |
After making us even more jealous with your Christmas walk photos, I decided to eventually send you a photo of ours. This was taken on a very hot day in August 2006 on the walk up Helvellyn from Swirls. We have 2 border terriers and 'Bluey' found a cool place to wait for his mum to catch up! Thank you very much for your website, we are avid viewers switching on each day for the next instalment. Living 300 miles away, we are pleased with our tally - half-way - having completed 107 Wainwrights in 7 holidays in the last 5 years regards |
Hello there, I was making one of my frequent visits to Ann Bowker's web site a couple of days ago and followed the link to your Loweswater website. We are very envious of the walks you have made over the last few days, fantastic views and thanks for sharing them on your web site. We couldn't help but notice the four legged members of the family and on looking at the pet pages it looks very much like Bethan is the half sister of our dog Amber? ~ small world isn't it, if I am correct and they have the same father Archways Archelaus. Amber has done 68 Wainwrights so far, the attached photo (right) was taken on Dale Head last June, beautiful but not as dramatic in your photos from Boxing Day. |

We are kind of using Amber's Wainwright
round as our excuse (as if one is needed) for our second round. We spent
three days over in the lakes the weekend before Christmas and must have
passed your cottage at least twice on our way to the Kirktsile Inn from
our B&B in Embleton. We were really lucky to get some really fine
weather, it stopped raining on the Friday evening just as we arrived and
turned into 3 beautiful days. The second picture of Amber and my wife Dee is on another well known Lakeland summit, I am sure you can work out where it is? Any way, thanks for your excellent web site, please keep it up and best wishes for the new year. John and Dee Clark + Amber of course |
