My first fell walks.... Loughrigg, Pike O Blisco, Catbells - High Spy (i remember throwing a massive strop because my mum and dad said i was too young to continue on the entire Newlands Horseshoe on my own, and had to retrace my steps all the way back to Catbells)

The excitement of getting my first pair of proper walking boots in Ambleside
Loughrigg Tarn is a lovely spot, and it can cope with quite a few people without becoming unpleasant. Unfortunately Chesters down at Skelwith Bridge - lovely cafe that it is - often becomes far too busy for its own good.
