Awesome waters of the Kent after overnight rains.

Please don't tell people about the remote delight of Kentmere, but it's a quiet, non-commercial gem, here in Lakeland. (Why are you posting here on Blue-sky then?)

A cycle ride ascending the Kentmere valley this morning. Blue-sky at the ancient hall. More description in photographs.

Roman roads and cloud traced fells. Ad altiora! 👍 (a friend thought this looked like Road Runner whizzing over the hills - meep meep! 😆)

The Lake District Sheepdog Trials Association at Ings today. A fantastic Lakeland day with hound trailing, sheepdog trials, stalls, food, and beer! I even won this wonderfully hideous cushion (seen here with Betsy the Bedlington Terrier)

This site offers excellent articles and information about Staveley, Kentmere and Ings ranging from Prehistory, The Romans, and Vikings all the way to the present day. There's even the odd mention from me! www.sdhs.org.uk

I hope Betsy wakes up in time for the Ings Show this Thursday. I enjoy this annual all-day event shared by locals and visitors alike. www.ingsvillage.org.uk/news-sheepdo...

I'm a little slow on posting of late, but I'm having a busy summer in Lakeland.

I have the Tubular Fells poster on my wall at home. And now even better knowing it's designed by a Hammers fan!

The smokey mountains this morning. Harrison Stickle glimpsed here. The many faces of the fells. Have a great weekend. Ad altiora!

The Windermere Children is a library exhibition showing how 300 children who survived the holocaust were brought to Windermere. It is an emotional reminder in light of the atrocities being carried out in the world just now. They who forget history inevitably repeat it again. Ad altiora!

Une belle fenêtre - What I love about the Lake District is how you are rewarded by tantalising views of the fells. And this is just mu commute to work.

The Coniston range including the Old Man (l) and Wetherlam (r) from Heathwaite. My commute to work - magic!

@normanhadley.bsky.social There you go. I grabbed a screen dump from a video just for you. As you predicted, the ideal place to spot deer. Ad altiora!

A recent ascent of Ill Bell took me along a favourite line up its north-east ridge. A steep but 'pure' route to the top, where you emerge right at the summit. Ad altiora!

I just found this shred of paper written by my Dad who passed away in 2010. He always looked up to those around him. It was the whole notion of "standing on the shoulders of giants." In these times of distrust, fraud, and conspiracy, it's good to be reminded of reality. Thanks, Dad. Ad altiora!

The view from Brantfell is here on my way down to Bowness-on-Windermere.

Summer's coming. Ad altiora!

Mountains influence us in more ways than we realise. Living amongst the fells really is awe-inspiring. Ad altiora!

Windermere from Alice Howe.

Before the railway arrived in 1847, the town where I work and shown here in this photo didn't exist. Windermere station is a walk of just over a mile from Bowness, which is on Windermere (the winding lake).

'Snow on northern fells.' Ad altiora!

A walk down to Queen Adelaide's Hill this lunchtime. The view from this glacial drumlin reveals the last snows of winter - maybe.
