The end of today. 🧡

Rolling waves this morning, what a welcome to the day.

Fresh! 🌊

You just can’t beat a dip and a dollop of community around a fire pit. Simple life pleasures.

Question is… were you the one who heard the wind and saw the rain and rolled over OR did you get up and ‘do the thing?!?!’

Swim O’Clock

Watch out for these guys on the drive in and out… 🦋🦋🦋

Grasmere Sports (extract from their page)… The historic Fell, or Guides Races have been part of Grasmere Sports from the very beginning. The first race was up Silver Howe in 1868 (a 1,300 feet/396 metre hill) and won by George Birkett in a time of 22 minutes and a prize of £3. In 1919 the Sports moved to its current location and the new race was up Butter Crag (966 feet/294 metres) and was won by J Pooley with a time of 14 minutes and 26 seconds. Between 1969 and 1979 there was a great rivalry between Fred Reeves and Tommy Sedgwick with Fred winning 8 times and Tommy three times. For the first time in history, times below 13 minutes were recorded with Tommy setting the record in 1976 of 12 minutes 24 seconds followed by Fred setting the current record of 12 minutes 21 seconds in 1978, which has yet to be beaten. Since Fred set the record in 1978 there have only been 7 years where the time has been less than 13 minutes, notably by Rob Jebb in 2007 when he completed the course in 12 minutes 35 seconds. Last year Jane Hunt interviewed Tommy Sedgwick (now the Sports' Bellman and once known as "brainless and brakeless") for a podcast about his experiences of fell running and it can be heard here: www.podcastworld.io/episodes/fellrunning-in-grasmere-the-past-and-the-present-53g3odb8 Ladies first entered the Fell Race in 1984 when Lord Longsdale's daughter Caroline Lowther was the first to win the race. The current record holder is Victoria Wilkinson in 2017 with a time of 15 minutes and 5 seconds. Entries for the races are all made on the day, and close 15 minutes before the start of each race. As in previous years a prize of £500 will be awarded if the adult mens or ladies records are broken. Prizes are given to "the first local" for each category. Locals are residents of Grasmere, Rydal, Chapel Stile, Skelwith, Elterwater, Wythburn & Loughrigg. Runners to specify which parish they are resident in, and proof of residency may be required.
