Fabulous and meaningful walking trip

Seeing the Lake District on foot is outstanding! We were well supplied with directions for getting around, and the lodging and other support arrangements were excellent. I highly recommend this trip for poetry and essay writers, for those who love the serenity of the English countryside, for those who love to hike. With our walking sticks (needed at times) and good hiking boots, we were well equipped for a special trip of a lifetime.

Most Inspirational Moment

Touring Dove Cottage at a leisurely pace (make time for this in your schedule, peeps) ... and the ferry ride on Coniston Water to Brantwood and a leisurely visit there, too. The landscape is enchanting: sheep, stone walls EVERYWHERE, the beauty of the landscape and the villages.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Not applicable ... this was a self-guided trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for rain (although we were very fortunate and only had mist and one short shower) ... don't pack too much stuff. You really only need to be prepared for hiking. Do be sure to carve out time if the weather changes, etc. to visit the homes of William Wordsworth (Dove Cottage), John Ruskin (Brantwood) and Beatrix Potter (Hilltop Farm). You may find you don't have time to do these at a leisurely pace unless you skip a hike here or there, which worked out great for us on a day we decided we needed a rest.

Suggestions

Studying the maps ahead of time would have been helpful (we received them on site with our briefing), but the written hiking directions from Headwater were excellent.
