Nothing goes to waste when Mrs Duck is around to tidy up
Very busy on our feeders and such a variety of birds
A wonderful view on our walk today up and around the Langdale Pikes
It’s very rare for us to use the car whilst at the cabin but today we knew we had a long hard trek ahead of us so we made an exception. We parked at New Dungeon Ghyll and then climbed to Loft Crag followed by Thunacar Knott, then High Raise and Sergeant Man to finish. The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful walk with spectacular views. We will certainly sleep well tonight!
We spotted this beautiful slow worm on our walk yesterday. The colour was amazing
We haven’t done Loughrigg Fell for a couple of years so today we put that right. It’s the closest fell to Neaum Crag and so is easily done in a morning or afternoon from our cabin. Despite it being one of the smaller fells it certainly doesn’t disappoint with regards to the views it affords.
We ventured a little further today for our walk and bagged another Wainwright for our efforts, namely Stone Arthur. It’s a lovely walk and rewards with spectacular views
You don’t have to venture far from Neaum Crag to find wonderful scenes like these. This was yesterday’s walk just up the road to High Close Arboretum which is well worth a visit. It has some magnificent trees in there, many of which are labelled for identification along with a beautiful carpet of bluebells at this time of the year.
The first 4 pictures are taken from the entrance to Rydal Cave 5 weeks apart showing the difference now that the trees have been felled. This has been necessary due to the disease Ramorum, such a shame
We found a new wood for us to explore today which rewarded us with some spectacular bluebells. These can be found in Fishgarths Wood which is just below Lily Tarn.
It’s a few years since we did a quick walk around of the cabin in which time we have made some major upgrades so we thought it was time to make a new one. Please excuse the unmade beds as we were just leaving and Heather hadn’t yet worked her magic for our incoming guests.
It might be cold outside this evening but it’s nice and cosy in Robinsons Tarn
We are delighted to share these images of our new kitchen for 2024 and hope that our regular and new guests will like it as much as we do. We have now provided a full size dishwasher and also a larger fridge freezer to make life easier whilst you holiday with us.
This new nesting box has been up less than a week and has already had its first viewing!
We were at the cabin during the winter making some changes which I will post about soon, but thought I would show you some of the snow we had whilst working there.
A few photos from our misty walk to Lily Tarn this morning
Another Timelapse from the same place but looking towards Fairfield
A short Timelapse showing the mist over Windermere this morning. Unfortunately the camera moved but thankfully not too far.
Lovely lighting for our walk up to Easdale Tarn today. Plenty of water in Sour Milk Gill.
On the promise of high activity for the Northern Lights we set off into the dark to try and get a photo but alas I think we missed them. We did however get some beautiful night sky shots and if you look closely there is a hint of colour in some of them which may or may not be what we were seeking.
A few snowy photos from our recent stay at the cabin.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
A lovely walk today from Neaum Crag to the Force Cafe Ambleside with our good friend Heather who many will know from their bookings at Neaum Crag. The weather was perfect and the view from the cafe is amazing. We even saw some Deer in the Stock Ghyll woods on our way back. Can you spot them on one of the photos.

This was an impressive sight as it flew over Grasmere
A lovely bright clear day for our walk up Silver How, one of our favourite walks.
Considering we had just finished filling the bird table this Robin had a very grumpy face
This very fat Robin joins us most days for our brew when we return from our walking
A few pictures from todays walk around the Blea Tarn area and then back to the cabin.
An old favourite today, namely Black Crag. So nice to have a clear day after all the recent rain.
It’s raining today but that doesn’t deter the birds from emptying our window feeder. It’s so busy it’s amazing they don’t fly into each other. When it’s empty they tap on the window to let us know!

It was very busy on the path to Elterwater today. I had to politely ask them to mooove on! We do love the Belted Galloway, they are so calm and quiet.
What a day yesterday with thunder and lightning and torrential rain. We couldn’t see Black Crag from our balcony but that didn’t matter as the birds provided us with ample entertainment despite the weather. I especially liked the bird sitting sheltering under the little roof keeping and eye on all its friends. Such a funny sight #neaumcrag #neaumcragservices #gardenbirdsuk
We took this short video today on the path beside Rydal Water. As you can see there are lots of tiny little frogs. As we walked along the path there were literally thousands as they went on for the whole length of the path and were also in abundance in the woods coming up from White Moss car park according to some fellow walkers we spoke to. You had to be extremely careful where you walked as they were everywhere.
