#1 England: From Coast To Coast [56k warning]

Post by The Grim Squeaker »

I returned just over a month and a half ago from England, having enjoyed there both the wonderful city of London (with gas attacks, bombings, "St Joan", Wicked and "Waterstone" bookshops. :)) and the natural wonders of the English countryside (Primarily, The Lake district). :D.

In said countryside, I embarked on half the that famous route , the Coast To Coast, which traverses England from East to West (Or Vice Versa if you're feeling bored).
I walked 88 Miles=145.6 Kilometers in 6 days with my parents, and had a bloody amazing time, especially in the fair Lake district.

And now, some pictures (With another 24 best HERE and the full set available on demand.):

Ah, the beautiful weather and puffy clouds... (England has, in my firm opinion, the most beautiful white, fluffy clouds in the world. Being from a cloudless desert nowadays only reinforces that opinion)

[Left] The William Wordsworth memorial garden. (We also visited his cottage, he lived all his life in the Lake district, calling it "The most beautiful place on Earth"

[Right, Above] The Beach-cliffs from St.Bees (Our first day).. Those black and white dots? They're Thousands of Puffins

On some days, you just need to rest and look at the clouds.

(Although, on the rest of the days we had Constant rain and flooding on the paths. I lost 3 sets of shoes to the rain, lakes, knee deep peat-bogs, swamps, cowpats, sheep-pats, stones, barbed wire & marshes. It was of course, all worth it. :D)

Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much: the wheel, New York, wars while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in water having a good time.
But the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons
