The Lakes

From Tanya
The Lake District and its proximity to Lancaster was one reason for me to choose the St Martin's course. I just loved this place in July'04 when they took us on a trip from a BC summer school in Leeds. It is romantic in a detached way(does this make sense I wonder) and it it endlessly fascinating for people like me who are neither great mountain walkers, not remarkable swimmers. And it is not overrated either(unlike some other places I have been to in the UK). back in '94 a friend said that the Lakes were the second best beauty in the Uk, Darmoor the undisputable paradise(in her own rating). I had the chance to be in Dartmoor - certainly beautiful but in a less haunting way. So my really really soulfeeding trip was the one to the Lakes. Hope to revisit soon!

The pic is me on Gummers How and I loved Tarn Hows. This is as much as I remembered, names of places over there are hard to read, let alone pronounce or remember.
