Its years since I've been up Blencathra. I enjoyed those photos and its certainly prompted me to re-visit this fantastic fell

I always take a compass with me whenever I'm out on the hills - although it largely remains un-used in good clear weather its good to know I have it if and when things close in. having said that, its no use at all if you don't know how to use it and use it in conjunction with a map. On the occasions...

Great report and like many I'm sure, reading it makes me yearn to be back there

Its easy to see from your photos why the ridge gets its iconic name of the British Alps!

Really enjoyed reading your report

Thanks, I think I got my pine matrins mixed with Polcats - it is actually Pine Martins I'm wanting to see.

Thanks for the tip about the grapes too - wasnt aware of that

Hi folks, I've read that enticing Polcats into the garden around the West Coast can be efective if lured in by sweet sticky jam and pea-nut butter - has anyone heard this too or am I dreaming that I've read about it :think: I'm really looking forwards to engaging my kids into spotting wildlife on ou...

Its amazing that the 999 service cannot handle grid references. having said that though, if you are calling using amodern phone (Most have passive GPS) then your position is transmitted by default through the 999 network. Its also worth noting that the breed of 'smart phones' now transmit their loca...

Does anyone else find themselves glued to the TV when 'Highland Emergancy' is on?

A cracking walk in anybody's book.

here's a pic I took around Easter time in 2006 looking in the same direction towards Place Fell, The Knight and Birk Fell

The furthest so far is 40 miles on the Lyke Wake Walk but I found it pretty boring I've done quite a few long distance walks too, and like you I found the Lyke Wake a boarding slog. Dont get me wrong I love the N. Y. moors (I live on the boarder of them so should love em) but despite my love of the...

Ive never walked in the S/W corner of the Lakes, not really sure why - probarbly as a younger lad I would always head for the Borrowdale area amd the higher peaks. having said that, now I'm older and have a young family I might be tempted by the lower fells for sumer walks with the family :? Its alw...

Thanks folks, that looks like a posative ID - and thanks to Kinley for the RSPB web link, sounds simple now I know but I wasnt aware that they had audio and video on their site :oops: should have looked there first I guess :? I've saved it to favourates as it should make spotting othere birds much e...

My 3 year old son and me have made a bird table for the garden and I'm pleased to say that we have quite a few visitors already - the picture I've posted here is of a shy ground feeder but I'm not sure what it is? It sits on the fence for ages before jumping down for bread and a snippet of apple, it...
