The Lake District.
This thread is for our photos, memories, other stories and information about the Lake District.
In my lifetime, it was always a place you went to for holidays, school trips, etc.
It is also a place that, in my own experience, it often seemed to rain a lot. I remember one week as a young lad with the scouts when we seemed to be soaking wet all the time from endless rain and sometimes even floods (not to mention chucking eachother into various lakes!) but that never detracted from the sheer beauty of the place.
It would be great to see peoples photos of the Lakes on here, and not just from "us visitors" to there from the North East, but from from those of us living over there and in Cumbria generally. We now get a lot of forum members from Cumbria on this "Communal Area" of the North East England Sub-forum of SSC, as here is where ALL the Cumbria Threads are located - this is the only SSC location where CUMBRIA is regularly covered.
To start the thread off, I will copy in to here a series of photo-posts about the Lake District made in 2010 by a Portugese visitor to the Lakes called marciomaco, and posted by him on the Portugal Forum - Fórum Português
Now, I do not understand the Portugese language myself (is there anyone on here who can translate?) but in any case it is mainly the actual photos themselves that tell the story here, rather than the narrative, I think.
marciomaco's photos start at the next post . . .
