Guest Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I wish I was going to aviemore! Are you spending xmas there? Yes, it's a cliche but after 5 Christmases in the sun I wanted the whole, white Christmas, sleigh rides, huskies thing. Being snowboarders we love Aviemore anyway and usually stay at Coylumbridge Hilton but I wanted to spend Christmas with my parents too and it was expensive for us all so I booked a two bed room lodge. Sadly my dad is now in hospital and won't be out before Christmas let alone able to travel to Scotland so it isn't going to quite work out as planned At least I have been able to go down and stay with my mum the last two weekends and visit though - it would have been awful if I was still in Perth.

Johndoe Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Doesn't it rain every day in the Lakes? It always seems to be shrouded in mist and cloud when I drive down the M6.. I know I'm in the minority, but the area doesn't do much for me although I can see why people think it's beautiful. It's still beautiful when it plsses it down..........seems to add an air of mystery to the high ground although I'm not a great lover of the low despite it being all these old tired legs can carry me round now...............saw Blencathra shrouded in rain/mist yesterday and it was mgnificent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went past seathwaite/seatoller yesterday for some pics................highest rainfall in the UK I believe, which is where the army chose to send it's boy soldiers for adventure training in Feb. !!!!! showed Jake the river derwent by Grange which fed into the lake. We used to canoe from there into the lake as boy soldiers............couldn't have done it yesterday..............it was raging. Stopped for a pic and an old biddy pulled up (about 80+ yrs old) with a huge german shepherd on the back seat who engaged us in conversation, above the dog barking. She was staying at a holiday cottage and had been up on the fells on her own. Turned out she lived at Pilling and Cockerham and knew loads of folk that I knew when we lived at garstang................small world eh? She had an old Nikon 2 meg camera that I had to show her how to use :-) Headed uo honister pass from there but couldn't see a thing, other than the big trucks coming and going from the quarry.

Paul1Perth Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I don't do history mate so no probs there.............I'm heading out Friday though for Whitby. My Aunt and Uncle and a couple of cousins live in Robin Hoods Bay Johndoe. Pop down there if you get chance, interesting place and the pubs have a lock in. Me and the wife went one time in December to stay with my cousin. She had a 3 storey cottage with tiny rooms on each floor one street back from the sea wall. One of the coldest winters I've known. We got snowed in, Robin Hoods Bay got cut off altogether for a few days, no traffic could get over the moors. We went fishing over the sea wall and had icycles hanging off us when we got in. Didn't catch anything either. Luckily my cousin lived next door to the dolphin pub, step out the front door, one step right, swing right again and you're there, perfect.
