The #ullswater #hopperbus service for 2025 starts TODAY! Currently, it is weekends only but will be a 7 day service in the summer, making a lot of difference to the number of cars in the valley. #ullswaterhopperbus #ullswaterway

Very dry underfoot which makes for easy going but please be aware of the fire risk. #Wildfires have already occurred in the #lakedistrict this year 🔥

Blencathra or Saddleback? I prefer Blencathra, it derives from Cumbric, old Welsh, a Celtic language. ‘Blain-Cadeir’ meant ‘summit seat’. The N Lakes is a melting pot of dialects and has been part of the kingdoms of both Strathclyde + Rheged in its past. @ old-north.co.uk

It's still winter on #Helvellyn
#stridingedge can be climbed entirely on rock with careful route choice but #swirreledge is still in full winter condition and crampons & and ice axe are essential #summitsafely Zac

There's not a huge amount of snow left apart from on the highest #lakedistrict summits but its forecast to freeze overnight so #crampons & #iceaxe will be required for anyone venturing onto the snow on Wed #summitsafely #beadventuresmart Zac

When snow and wind combine! Rime and snow flutings on the #Helvellyn summit shelter.
Challenging navigation in whiteout conditions to find this sanctuary. Goggles, crampons, an ice axe, 4 pairs of gloves, map & compass & coffee were all essential for a safe adventure today. Zac

Morning everyone I hope you are well. The beautiful Church in Chapel Stile (Holy Trinity) with Thrang Crag as the backdrop. Apparently in old Norse (a lot of Lake names derive from the Viking settlements), Thrang meant narrow. Have a great day.

The latest conditions report from the #felltopassessors is at lakedistrictweatherline.co.u…
Winter is fully in charge on the high fells so please check the weather forecast and ask yourself if your skills and equipment are up to your planned adventures 🥶 #beadventuresmart Zac

With fresh snow on the tops expect a shift back to winter conditions over the next few days, with caution needed ⚠️ Check out forecasts & conditions beforehand ‼️

Really disappointed to see thousands of balloons being released in Liverpool in the memory of Welsh drag queen "The Vivienne"
These balloons go on to entangle and choke wildlife it's something I often see firsthand.

Mountain rescue teams are volunteers. Every call-out puts their lives at risk as much as yours. Safety warnings aren’t there to spoil your fun — they’re there to help you come home safely, without putting others in danger.
With this cold snap continuing, if you see someone about to head off on an ill-prepared adventure, give them a friendly word of advice: don’t be an eejit.

I'm a Crane Fly , Commonly known as a daddy-long-legs.
I'm a harmless insect that sometimes feeds on nectar helping with pollination but mostly I don't eat anything
Please enjoy my company as a bumble around because I only live for a couple of weeks. 😊

Interesting pics from folk out Keswick way. They’re asking what is it? Well, it’s Katabatic winds 💨 Drawing cold dense air over Skiddaw⛰️ #lakedistrict Here’s some rough video I have captured of such weather phenomenon in motion from my film about #Helvellyn #loveukweather 🎥
In this footage it’s apparent how such conditions transpire but also reveals in many ways how our precious atmosphere moves like water about the land and has many layers too!
Cool innit! No pun intended! 😉🤣 Well, actually that’s a contradiction as it was warmer higher up but you get the gist.
Interesting cloudage cascading down the slopes of Skiddaw tonight 🤔 ☁️ @LakesStiles @CharlesBewley2 @JohnGal_luvlife
