The 5 mile walk out of Keswick starts along the Railway Footpath, but then it’s along roads until the stunning Castlerigg Stone Circle is reached. The return to Keswick is along footpaths, through fields and woods and finishes by the lake. Two car parks are suggested : one near the start of the walk and the other at the end. Rather than suggest a route through Keswick, I’ve left it to the reader to explore the streets of this attractive town for themselves.

Around Warton Crag is the only one in the north of England. Foyers from Inverfarigaig explores the lills and shores at the south of Locj Ness, whilst Cemaes Bay to Porth Wen is mostly along the Anglesey Coast.

Once again it's been ages since the last blog entry. A lot of my time has been spent helping to organise an exhibition with other Morecambe Artist Colony members . The Art Show Wot We Dis opened on what would have been Eric Morecambe's 90th birthday and contains over 30 pieces of art inspired by one of Britain's best loved comedians.

There's still time to catch it - it's on until 16th July at Morecambe Library. And there's another Eric Morecambe inspired exhibition organised by Lancashire County Coumncil's Museum Service at Lancaster City Museum - thsi one has lots of eric's personal belongings and memorabilia.
