| 2008's holiday was to the Lake District with a lovely cottage / barn conversion just a 100 yards from the WCML. How did I manage that! Unfortunately the photo oppertunities were not good as the line was shrouded in trees. However I did manage to get a few usable shots. Further photos from a short break in the Lake District in June 2009.
