Lover of the outdoors. Cycling, walking, kayaking and wild camping in and around the Lake District. I enjoy nature, beer and living in Cumbria. Gardener.

I couldn't resist it. Probably the most photographed barn in the #LakeDistrict! #Hartsop.

@ianwood2011 Haha, dry feet is a luxury on grassy moor like that. I explored Top o'selside on Saturday. I managed to get wet feet even in this heat!

@ianwood2011 I see you're heading to the peaceful parts of Cumbria of late 👍

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@ianwood2011 Ah yes, brilliant read. Mine too was from a charity shop! Oxfam in Kendal is fantastic for that sort of thing. I got all of the Wainwright guides from there. Old ones too 👍

@ABIANDTOMS Very Monty Pythonesque!

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@ABIANDTOMS I love the humour in these 2 recent short videos! Best of luck for the up and coming season. I'm sure it'll be a busy one as long as we all keep safe and well.

@ianwood2011 🤬

@ianwood2011 @YouTube Hi Ian. That was a great short film creatively shot! I can't believe how quiet it looked at the Hospice. People in the valley obviously thought that it was a misty day - but only in the valley of course! I missed out on that by a few hours when I crossed over the top around noon.

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@ianwood2011 Great pictures Ian. Looked like I came down too early! I wondered across around midday and experienced the mist in the valley. 🙃

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@ianwood2011 Bloody brilliant! Nice big moon as well. No head torch needed. Have a good one Ian before we go into a higher tier. 👍

@ianwood2011 Dropping down Lindale Hill this morning was a stunning sight Ian. With views to Yorkshire in the distance and rolling mist covered hills all the way back to the bay. What a sight!

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@ianwood2011 Very nice. I bet it's quieter than the lakes!

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@LivingTLOL @FeatureCumbria @onLoughrigg @D_Houston Uplifting and energy inducing. I like it!

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@GeorgeKitching Thank you so much. 👍

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@LeesOutdoorBlog @DJIGlobal @yourwales @visit_snowdonia @NTSnowdoniaLlyn @HilkeSchellmann Great aerial pics! A lockdown purchase?! 😆

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@Northlakesuk Stunning!

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@LeesOutdoorBlog @wildflower_hour Lesser known spot, but with Greater stitchwort. I see what you did there. 😉

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@LivingTLOL That's a great post! I felt the tranquility you spoke of at the lake after your swim. Fantastic. It's a time to remember as it's very unlikely to be so quiet again. Thanks for the insight Julie. 😀

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@mrs_walker214 Love that route. Avoiding Wetherlam edge is best as I never enjoy that scramble. Wetside edge is a chilled walk back with stunning views! Thanks for the reminder, as always, of what its like. 👍

[Andy Bennett @BennettAndyj]

@mrs_walker214 I love the openness you have in that area. Stunning and a breath of fresh air, thank you! 😀
