| Parked in layby by phonebox on A6 for a circuit of Borrowdale over 6 summits. 2/6 | PGCE | 18/11/2021 |
| A 2nd visit with L. Calm and sunny 5hr walk from A6 layby after my 13 day virus lay up. Linked grassy S ridge tops although boggy path confined by gloomy trees here -then back along the beautiful Borrowdale -with the farm and meadows being a touch of paradise -utter calm as hidden by the folds of the hills and nature -chickens and rabbits nibbling the grass together. Wainwright thought this was the most beautiful valley outside of Lakeland -its now in Lakeland of course and the Friends of The Lake district have bought High Borrowdale and its hay meadows to preserve its cultural and natural beauty - a fine choice. | Chris Pearson | 20/09/2021 |
