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.

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.
