My first visit to the Lake District took place in 1989 when my family and I stopped overnight in Watermillock on our way to Loch Lomond. Although our stay was brief, we took a short walk around Ullswater and were captivated by the stunning scenery and the overall ambiance of the area. We promised ourselves that we would return for a more extended visit to fully explore this beautiful region.
I’m sure if you are a fan of the Lake District then you will already know of Andrew from his former Lake District website – theLakelandFells. Andrew has a new Lake District website called Fellwandering.
The Visitor Gallery features the photographs of Andy Wallace, Andy was a regular contributor to the Photo of the Day section. Andy became hooked on fell walking after taking a short walk through Skelghyll Woods.
Gerry’s first visit to the Lake District was in 1993 when he completed the Three Shires Fell Race. Gerry enjoys stopping at The Coledale Inn in Braithwaite, his favourite tipple is the Yates’s bitter.
Graham started walking in the Peak district back in 1994 after a friend at work gave him a recommended list of walks to try out. After purchasing a book – ‘Wainwrights Favourite Lakeland Fells’ from a bargain bookshop Graham decided to visit the Lakes.
John was the first contributor to Snap the Lakes. He was a keen rock climber in his teens and 20’s, and enjoyed several seasons climbing in the Alps, in the Zermatt, Chamonix and Grindlewald regions.
Paul first visited The Lakes in 1988 on a family day trip to Windermere and Ambleside and immediately fell in love with the Lakes. More trips followed and he became increasingly fascinated by all the people wandering around in walking gear.
