Been going there for 50 years, I'm 62 now and still love it.

Amazing. Not just the scenery but how you show your love for nature. A person after my own heart. Thanks for sharing.

My very first holiday as a young child was in Keswick. It and the Lakes in general will always have a special place in my heart. Loved the red squirrels and the dogs who came to say hello!

Who says low level walks are boring? Another really enjoyable video. Thanks again.

You've got it!

“Best sound on the planet”. Indeed, you wise soul you. Peace and love from Japan

Done this walk a few times in the past, after watching your wonderful video I have decided to go back and do it again next week, the passion you show for the outdoors is so lovely and that smile is infectious.

"I've got a canoe, and I'm sat in it" The pride in your voice at that moment, love it! I don't recognise the lakes without rain to be honest!

Love The Lake District and have been many times, Derwent Water and Buttermere are my 2 favourites. Love the Town of Keswick, beautifully clean and has everything you need.

Very nice video. Abbie. Derwent Water is one of my most favorite places to be.

Yet another great video Abbie thanks for reminding us of the wonderful world we have

That poem 😍 so perfect.

Absolutely love all your videos, energy & personality, Abbie - but this one was extra-special. New to the Lake District (1st visit a month ago) have totally fallen in love with the whole district & already booked a place to stay (this time in Keswick). Excited, even though bit far in future, so much looking forward to doing some of your amazing walks. Thanks for sharing your awesome experiences.

Thanks, Abbie. I'd love to visit the Lake District one day, but I fear I'd never want to leave. ;)

Awesome channel, great personality.

Great video. Friars Crag is the first place I always go to every time I'm in the Lakes. I sit looking out at that view and I know I've arrived. Cheers Abbie.

Great day on Derwentwater, looks amazing and such a delight to watch the red squirrels. Thanks for letting us join you :)

Our natural world transforms Every day and month and year. But if we don’t take time to look, Wonders fade and disappear. So stop to hear sweet birdsong, touch the bark of every tree. Rest to feel the suns warm kiss, watch the journey of a bee. Look closely in the woods and fields Where magic is unfurled. Find poetry in the everyday, Explore the natural world... 💖

Your kayak adventure reminded me of a story that someone told me years ago about venturing out on a frosty cold morning in a kayak and they decided to put a heater in it to try and keep warm. Unfortunately the heater tipped over and set fire to the kayak,which sunk very near to the shore so they were able to scramble to safety. And the moral of the story is........? - you can't have your kayak and heat it ! Actually Abbie having watched several vids during lockdown your ritualistic cake and hot drink break which is a really nice touch and i had to take the pc upstairs to show my wife the monster apple you were tackling (16:40) on the Lodore Falls , Walla Crags and Great Wood walk ! Abbie you are a star - long may you shine . Cake tare !

What a lovely film. Your enthusiasm is infectious! One of the happiest holidays my family and I have ever had was a few years ago, when we rented a cottage for two weeks on the Lingholm estate (don't think it is possible anymore..?). We had our two canoes with us and we explored all of the lake. We had the luxury of a private section of woodland and shore on the estate from which to launch. Canoeing across to go shopping in Keswick and to have lunch was excellent. Every afternoon, our treat was to call in at Nichol End Marina and enjoy a cream tea with the largest scones in the universe! We also explored Rampsholm Island, (which is the location for the characters in 'Neville's Island', an excellent comedy play by Tim Firth) and generally had the best time! If you have not yet visited the Lakes, I recommend Keswick and Derwent Water as being a delightful way to begin. I cannot wait to get back there one day!

Inspirational- thanks Abbie

That was good Abbie. Please indulge my ramble here. I was in the lakes last year, did Catbells and walked down the other side to the far end of the lake.. Hiked my way around the lake and caught the ferry where I met a young man who had actually visited my home state of Arkansas . What were the odds? I walked the square in Keswick many times and had lots of fish and chips. You may not know it but the northern UK has its own smell. I hadn’t been in England since 1975 when my family lived in Yorkshire. When I landed in Manchester the first thing I noticed was the smell and it was like I smelled it yesterday. The same for so many of the details and landscapes is saw. It made my eyes tear up. Your country has been in my blood since I was a kid and I appreciate your videos that make me wish we’d never left it. Cheers from the states and a fellow walker.

Thanks for the vids and sharing your walks.. ps. Last time saw those wooden hands, they were half under water. 🤪

Walked the full circular route of Derwentwater a few times in different conditions and it always takings my breath way, although I have never taken out a canoe (I have missed out.). Great watch, cheers Alan

Hi Abbie, good video and ideas for a rainy day. I reckon those plants were grape vines, not beans ! Hope we have better weather in September for our hol.

Hello, another excellent video. I am surprised you don't take a dog with you on your walks. Even a Border Collie might get exhausted trying to maintain your distances and they are hard to tire out.

Hey Abbie, yet another glorious piece of filming for us to marvel at, thank you ! Your series of posts from the lake district have convinced me that should my six numbers come in, it is the very place for me to "up sticks" and move to,.......we live in hope eh!!
