This Hidden South Lakeland walk from Beetham to Milnthorpe is a walk of glorious contrasts, taking in bucolic hills, dappled woods, farmland, saltmarsh and the sea. It’s a treat as much for the feet on the ground, with stretches of limestone pavement underfoot, as it is for the head in the clouds, with blue September…
I recently shared a series of photographs taken by guests on my tours last summer on Instagram. It was both therapeutic as well as fun, revisiting the summer of 2019 at a time when I was unable to physically travel into the Lake District – at first, because of the UK national lockdown which started…
とうとう環境にやさしい公共交通機関での移動が解禁です。6月下旬、イギリスでのロックダウン（外出規制）が緩和され、ボリス・ジョンソン英首相は、家にいられない場合は、自動車や徒歩、自転車での移動を促しました。

Day after day with nothing to do in the summer beyond figure out how to pass the time. Feeling that I should be doing something, but what? I wake up exhausted, forehead furrowed,…
2020年3月17日、長崎からまりこさんと、娘さん、そしてご家族のお友だちがお越しになり、湖水地方のウィンダミア、グラスミア、ライダルへご案内いたしました。
On 15 March 2020, I guided Mariko-san from Nagasaki together with her daughter and family friend around Windermere, Grasmere and Rydal in the Lake District. Starting with a cruise from Bowness, we enjoyed red squirrels and breath-taking views of Grasmere at Allan Bank before visiting the Wordsworth graves at St Oswald’s Church, then walking the…
