Lovely Brown Knoll, sat on its own little patio on Lovely Brown Knoll, sat on its own little patio on the moors. I chose the song because Hols went to her first concert last night, Enhypen in Manchester. Their songs have been on repeat in our house or car forever and are now ingrained into my brain…! #trigpointtuesday #63trigs #peakdistricttrigs #trigpoint #brownknoll #peakdistrictnationalpark

Had a visit to the little igloo yesterday as well. Had a visit to the little igloo yesterday as well. Last time we visited it was so wet, we got drenched and had to get changed in the back of the car. This time it was lovely, dry and sunny - perfect apart from the litter! If you’re going to take beer up on the moors, at least take the empties away with you. Littering isn’t cool - it’s moronic. #thepeakdistrict #peakdistrictwalks #quietwalks #peakdistrictnationalpark #leavenotrace #dontbeascratter #peakdistrictwalkers

Throwback to June, when Joel and I had a few days Throwback to June, when Joel and I had a few days staying in Little Langdale and we headed up into the Coniston Fells to tick off a few more Wainwrights. This is on the way up to Wetherlam, heading up through the Coppermines valley. It was a right slog going up there! If you want to know where we stayed and what we hiked, head to the blog - I’ve basically made you a weekend away itinerary! https://thewanderingwildflower.co.uk/little-langdale-lake-district-weekend-break/ #conistonfells #coniston #lakedistrictweekend #lakedistricttrip #lakedistrictitinerary #weekendtrip #weekendideas #hiking #wainwrightbagging #lakedistrictuk #lakedistricthikers
