Lakeland Inspiration

Lakeland Inspiration

Living in the Lake District, I am lucky enough to be able to run from the back door of my house in Kendal and in just a few minutes be on limestone hills with panoramic views of the fells.

I want to share some of this Lakeland inspiration with you, gathering together twelve of my favourite photo memories taken whilst running over the mountains in last few years. There is one photo for each month of the year, with the story behind it too linked up too. I hope you enjoy them.

Fingers crossed, the national Lockdown will soon be lifted. Then everyone will be able to come and enjoy this beautiful part of the world too.

The mountains are waiting.

    Beautiful pictures. Desperately missing the Lake District and the lakeland Trails. Last year’s holiday cut short by lockdown and this year’s has to be postponed.

    • Hi Gavin, thanks very much and hang in there! The mountains and trails aren’t going anywhere – you’ll be back here again soon. Cheers, Graham
