The “Navigator” and I spent a week in the Lake District from 12th to 19th October based in Patterdale. Our base was a comfortable chalet at Patterdale Hall Estate.

However with sciatica problems, ticking off the tops was not on the agenda and even low level walks in the lakes are not to be missed.

Hopefully the lack of words will be made up by the photos. Read on.
