Here's the #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint on Seatallan on a clear but cold February day. Traditional stone construction again, so much nicer than concrete. You can visit on our walk "Middle Fell, Seatallan, Buckbarrow - a Greendale round" www.walklakes.co.uk/walk_144.html

Not sure why we stopped posting #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint but here's the one on Red Screes. Traditional stone construction and in good condition when we visited on a fine April day. You can visit on our walk 'Red Screes and Middle Dodd from Ambleside' www.walklakes.co.uk/walk_148.html

It's been a couple of weeks since we posted #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint (cos Covid 😷) but here's the one on Place Fell. Traditional stone construction again and in good condition, with Ullswater beyond. Bit of a grey day when we visited.

It's been a couple of weeks since we posted #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint but here's the one on Pillar. Traditional stone construction and in good condition when we visited on a fine September day. You can visit on our 'A Mosedale Horseshoe' walk www.walklakes.co.uk/walk_20.html

Thank you to @kirstysnp.bsky.social for raising the issue of proportionality in relation to the implementation of the Online Safety Act in the debate at Westminster Hall today and especially her reference to "a hill walking forum that gets three posts a week" parliamentlive.tv/event/index/... #OSA

This is a fairly routine #Wasdale MRT call out report but the team lead was Jess who was a Very Good Dog and we couldn't resist the photo. www.wmrt.org.uk/incidents/co...

A favourite #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint of ours is the one on Loughrigg Fell and our walk to it from Ambleside is currently our most popular download. www.walklakes.co.uk/walk_141.html

Today's #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint is the one on Loadpot Hill, one of Wainwright's Far Eastern Fells lying between Ullswater and Haweswater. Traditional stone again and looked like it had been grouted recently. (The red thing at the base is an orienteering marker for a race happening that day.)

Today's #LakeDistrict #TrigPoint is the one on Little Mell Fell and was in fine condition when we visited it on a sunny day, with Blencathra in the distance behind it. It's easy to access via a remarkably short and steep walk from the straightforward access point of The Hause.

We have today written to our MP about the Online Safety Act 2023, its appalling and disproportionate implementation, and how it will affect our web site. www.walklakes.co.uk/forum/viewto... #OSA

Today's #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint is the one on Ling Fell, which is located west of Bassenthwaite Lake and is one of two at the northern tip of Wainwright's North Western Fells (Sale Fell to the east being the other). It's traditional stone built and was in pretty good condition when we visited.
