Visions of Cumbria

 

The purpose of this section is to show various pictures from Cumbria which do not normally appear on our walks pages. They may have been taken on a day out or maybe on the way to or back from one of our walks or sent in by one of our readers. Either way I hope that you will enjoy them.


11th June 2009

Today was time to catch up with a number of jobs that had been neglected first for health reasons and then because of walking. Most of these jobs were in Lancaster but the last one was in Kirkby Lonsdale. We arrived there with time to spare for short walk along the River Lune to Ruskins View.

Looking towards the A65 roadbridge from Devils Bridge

A few locals

Devils Bridge

Picnic area near the bridge

Looking back to Devils Bridge as we follow the riverside path to Kirkby Lonsdale

We have company whilst we sit awhile

Back to the car. There are a few travellers on there way home from Appleby Fair. Plenty of rubbish been left despite there being a skip provided.
