Up to the Lake District

After visiting Newark-on-Trent to attend the Stonedead Festival, my first travelling companion (throughout Somerset; south-east Wales; Gloucestershire etc.) returned to Ireland as planned, albeit with badly blistered feet. 

To make matters worse, he had something like a 15-hour delay at Birmingham Airport.

In contrast, my second travelling companion and I travelled relatively straightforwardly from Newark to Nottingham, then Nottingham to Manchester by train.

After stopping over in our hometown (Bury, Lancashire), we made our way to Bolton train station:


From where we travelled up to Oxenholme (the gateway to the Lake District), and then Windemere (the kind of door to the Lake District):


After having a quick look round near Windermere train station:


We saw that the place was jam-packed with tourists, and caught the first bus out of the place, to Keswick:
