Trip to Lake District











It was a wonderful experience in Lake District trip. We 7 guys travelled in Ford Galaxy from Hinckley – Nuneaton – Hawkshead on 21st February 2009. The places we visited in Lake District were Roman Fort, Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere, Grizdale forest and Keswick, Buttermere. We stayed in Hawkshead Youth hostel. It was a youth hostel where all 7 stayed in a single room. The first day we visited Roman Fort. From there we headed to Hawkshead. There we hired bicycle and ridded for 2 – 3 hours. It was amazing, after a long time we ridded the bicycle. By the time we finished the riding it was 6-30 and next we headed to the hostel. Took some rest and again travelled to Ambleside to have dinner. We had dinner at Tagore restaurant in Ambleside. It was an OK restaurant. Then moved back to hostel and took rest for that night.
Next day, we started by having our breakfast in the hostel. It was an English Buffet breakfast. After that we vacated the hostel and moved to Grizdale forest. This forest was very well maintained, such that we walked about 4 hours. It was another beautiful experience in that natural beauty. After completing the Grizdale walk, we travelled to Keswick, where we had lunch. It was an amazing ride from Hawkshead to Keswick. Beautiful for the eyes and cameras to take the snaps. Then we reached to Buttermere. We climbed Buttermere hill and say a falls and Buttermere lake. From there we headed back to Hinckley. Finally reached home at 11.30 in the night. The whole trip we had fun and joy.
