Our Holidays in the Lake District

Our first time on holiday in the Lake District was in 1991 and ever since then I have kept records of our time there in a small note book. I made a summary of our visits in my post of 30th June 2015. I missed out what we did on wet and rest days. Since our visit in September 2001, the notebook contains a lot more detail of what we did each day including notes about the weather. I first entered a post on my blog in June 2008 but then we went seven years without a visit. That was until 2015 (post of 2nd July 2015) when we found Coachman's Cottage in Grasmere (post 1st July 2015) and that was the start of seven consecutive years there, only broken by the pandemic in 2020. I have now updated the earlier summary.
