Hi Roger, Thanks for sending us the website details. I didn't realise so many photos had been snapped! They’ve come out really well and have caught the atmosphere of Askerton. Please pass on our best regards to your group. We enjoyed being able to show you our farm. Kind regards, Chris and Jane This was after the Loweswater Farmers Visit to their Organic Farm . . . local deliveries available . . . Rmh |

Hi Mal . . . perhaps I'll have to rent the place too, or just buy myself an extra long telephoto to see the wildlife across the road . . . Rmh |

Scottish Coast to Coast Walk 2009 I leave on Friday for Morar to begin Macmillan sponsored trail on Sunday. Long range forecast for Mallaig is good from Friday to Thursday, but it will be a very soggy descent from Kinbreak Bothy into the forest at Glen Garry. Should you wish to follow my progress, log onto penkridge.org.uk. This will open the home page where my name takes centre news! Follow links, one will give route details and description. There is another link to Macmillan, which will reveal the page that will print my daily reports, providing there is a signal. There is a strong possibility that I will be out of contact until a phone box at Tomdoun Hotel. Enjoy your holiday. Cheers Keith. |

Hello again Roger& Ann,
I arrived home 22.00 on Friday evening. I have sorted out some photos. Thankfully we had very little rain
and no midges ! |
Congratulations Keith
on an excellent sponsored walk. It sounds like you enjoyed it . . .Rmh |
Hi Roger and Ann, Just as our wedding day 25 years ago, the sun was shining and we will treasure our memories and many photos (over 300 in 4 days!) of a lovely time celebrating our Silver Anniversary. Unfortunately we did not get up in a helicopter
like yourselves, but you never know in the future! |

We stayed in an apartment in Bowness. We managed to climb Stone Arthur which you can look down on, as we tend to start from Dove Cottage end. We also managed Helm Crag and the highlight for both of us was Easedale Tarn. We had never thought about doing it before, but it was so worth the walk. The weather was beautiful and we were the only two people up there! We were returning on Friday evening so decided to have a relaxing walk around Derwent Water and thanks to Roger's pics I finally found out where Friars Crag was. I think Roger put some pics up a few weeks ago showing the new path and in all the years we have been coming up, we had never walked down there! So now you know how handy your photos are, because you also introduced us to one of our favourite walks - Rannerdale Knott. Because we only had a short break, we kept our walking/climbing quite local, normally we spend days in different areas, but it was lovely to come up at a different time of the year. Many thanks to both of you for sharing your lovely photos. Best regards, Julie and Derek Willsher. And thank you for sharing yours . . . Rmh |
Hello Roger. That was very special of you to take the time to respond. I forwarded your suggestions to my friend in Toronto, who sends his thanks along. I will stay in touch, as in visit with you electronically on your super website. On a another note. Not too long ago I built
a style, crossing our farming neighbours fence. I styled it on many I have seen on your site.

Hello again Ann and Roger.
Hi Glenis we tend to carry all our water, but a fast flowing and small mountain stream is always a delight to drink from. Make sure there's no dead sheep just up the slope though ! . . . Rmh. |
Hi Roger and Ann
More of Richards photos can be found at his new Picassa photo site

Hi Roger and Ann. Since this email I have completed the last one ! I spent a glorious week at Neaum crags in the Langdales. We had a family holiday and introduced the kids to Wainwright bagging, managed Castle Crag, Black crag and Latrigg. Then on Fri 12th of June My walking partner and his wife came up to bag the last one which was Loughrigg fell. We couldn't have chosen a better week as it was glorious weather and not too hot. We had Chocolate cigars on the top then went down back to Loughrigg tarn where I went for a swim, then walked back to the pub at Skelwith Bridge. Enclosed is the final summit photo of me and Martin. We did pop into your shop but it was your diner hour as you were no where to be seen. That was both you and sean (Striding Edge) that I failed to meet. Its really hard to meet up with your heroes you know ! I can't wait to get back up there and start to really investigate the areas we have done as we did them in just under 2 years. Some of them we just bagged and went on. Now its time to get off the beaten track and really see the area. i am glad you have started to add maps in to your web site as they are really useful. Keep up the great work and long may you have the time to get out there in such stunning scenery. We will meet one day, and I can thank you personally for the help, as looking at your web site and Sean's I have been able to plan routes better and also see what to expect, so they are really useful, and are my main pages on the internet Thank you, Glenn. |
