An annual project inspired by Beatrix Potter’s mycological studies: a ‘gathering’ of all the species of fungi I came across over a two week period (mainly from the shores of Rydal and Windermere) 🍄🍄‍🟫🍄

Managed to squeeze in 20 hiking miles this week, alongside our performance of the #GrasmereDialectPlays. Highlight was our deer walk above Patterdale with the Skiddaw U3A Roamers - the light and autumn colours were stunning #lakedistrict #nhs1000miles @kitzingercelia.bsky.social

First deer walk of the rutting season, above Patterdale with the Keswick Roamers. Thanks to Lena Dacuna for logistics & deer-spotting eye! Surprised to see 3 stags together - anyone know how long the dominant male will tolerate youngsters? @kitzingercelia.bsky.social

Today I 'bagged' my 100th Wainwright summit (Rest Dodd) since my second knee replacement in January. There might be a little celebration tonight ... @kitzingercelia.bsky.social

21 hiking miles in a varied-weather week here in the #LakeDistrict. #nhs1000miles @kitzingercelia.bsky.social

Recently back from a great 10 days hiking - and lake swimming! - in the Zugspitz region of Austria (pics). Together with hikes in the #LakeDistrict before and after that trip, it's 124.5 miles to add to my total. YTD now stands at 557.5 miles. #nhs1000miles @kitzingercelia.bsky.social

Thank you to Swim the Lakes for a brilliant day out on the Helvellyn Double Dipper adventure (and the best gingerbread too!)

Just back from a week of Austrian mountain hiking - and we fitted in some swims in glacial lakes along the way as well.

Making the most of a gorgeous sunny day in the #LakeDistrict with a swim in Red Tarn, beneath Helvellyn's summit plateau. Thanks Pete & Steve of 'Swim the Lakes' for the impeccable logistics! @kitzingercelia.bsky.social

Stop scrolling!!! A puffling* has been spotted in Purbeck, Dorset for the first time in 30 years! *Baby puffin (yes, they have the cutest name)
