I love the Lakes. I used to go several times a year when I was younger up until I was 25, born and living in Yorkshire. I moved to Cornwall 26 years ago, a place I also love. I settled down with a local girl and we drove up in the early 2000's and stayed in Keswick. She loved it. We went back again with the kids years later and they both loved it too. She agreed with me and said she would only ever live in Cornwall or the Lakes.

Wow mate. Memories are coming back to me. I went few years ago and lake Windermere Has got to be the best lake I ever visited and I’ve been pretty much everywhere and nowhere can beat that lake. Lovely video mate. I need to go back to visit again asap after watching this video. The views are amazing and the small village was a lovely walk. You have to go on the boat cruise it’s amazing. Keep up the good work mate. Big fan of yours👍

Wow there are a lot of great places to eat and drink in that area. Spoilt for choice. Great vid Gareth. 👍

Could not believe you were in Bowness doing a vlog as i had planned to go Thurs. After watching you eat that pasty i went straight to the shop and got a large one.It was off the charts and kept me full all day. Thanks for recommending.

I swear this was the day I was here! Last Wednesday, saw the weather forecast and drove down from South Shields with my mate and my dog for the day, it’s the most beautiful place on earth when the suns shining!

Wow .......................... Nice one Gareth, it was like watching an edition of "All Our Yesterdays" from Granada TV (Again, shaowing my age ..!) .........................!! (My legs felt cold remembering my days in short pants ..!) Good to see that they still have the wooden boats on the lake ..............!! That "pasty" looked really tasty, I bet the onions and turnip, gave you something to remember it by .....................!!! (Pastry looked really good ) Amazing that it came all the way from Cornwall ... No GREGSONS ...???? You probably had to move a bit sharpish not to be dive bombed by the gulls, hope they did not drop a going away prsent for not sharing your scran ....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you ever get the chance to visit Keswick on your travels, visit the "Copper Kettle" Cafe ..............!! It used to be owned by members of my family ...............!! Rum Butter comes to mind, but I can't remember the name of the local toffee that had a special taste ..............!! You bought it in a white oblong box...........??? Any idea what I´m ranting on about ?? Kendal "Mint Cake " was a staple on the long walks doing the "Duke of Ediniburgh" Awards Scheme and camping by the lake ...........!! ! ( iI iked the brown version best ) Another tasty and amusing video Gareth , glad to know that the better half is feeling better ..........!! (buy her some "Rum Butter ") You even had better weather than Alicante and that's worth a drink in celebartion at least ..! CHEERS ............................!!

Really enjoyed seeing you out and about xxx

I grew up in Windermere and plenty of familiar places, thank you. The Stags and Hole were two of my haunts. Vinegar Jones needs to be called the Pheonix. A mate of mine attended the fire when it burned many years ago, but great to see it back. Quick tip, near where you were sitting at the end, lots of swans. They will happily mug you if you don't share your pie with them.

Absolutely beautiful well worth the trip oh I do miss it you don't know what you have on your doorstep until your gone great review as always thank you so much 😊

Hiya Gareth, great video. Thank you for sharing. See you Friday, mate.

Love the lakes, one of my fav places, Bowness is so beautiful! Thanks for taking us along on your trip 😊🛶🌤🦆

You Gareth convey how lucky you are to be down the road from paradise. I'm 60 but the best years of my life were my childhood up there. I think about these places nearly every day and miss it sooooo much... 👏👏👏

How pretty ❤ pasty looked great 👍🏻

Me and the missus were just there a few weeks ago, had lovely fish and chips from the Seafarer. One of the most beautiful parts of the UK.

Look lovely there G 👍🏻

What a great video and such a lovely picturesque place. So glad your good lady is feeling much better💐❤. Thank you for this tour. Really enjoyed it👍🙂 Take care

That area looked so beautiful. Never would have known if it wasn't for you. By the way, being from Plymouth, I'd say that pasty looked proper job.

Great vid mate. Once I saw the pint I was expecting it to cut back to a table of empty glasses and you in a taxi with a donner... Lol

It looks so beautiful up there Gareth. So clean and tidy, not like Chatham. I knew it would'nt be long before the Seagulls turned up though lol. 👍👍👍

Great video Gaz, best place to be on a gorgeous day like today!!! Must go and sample them fine Cornish pasties, ☺️👍x

Windermere is beautiful place

Loved this Gareth what a beautiful place to stay scenery was amazing 👏 😍 ❤

Absolutely spot on video. I love Bowness, i wish it was that quiet ( and sunny ) when i visit there. I will watch this video again whenever i need cheering up.

Hi Gareth I like San Miguel although I’d rather have just Miguel lol 😂 glad to your here good lady is getting better bringing back memories of when I used to go with my mam and dad xxx💕👍

I think we all have been inside a fizzy tart at some stage! 😂 😂 😂

Great view’s & thanks 😊

Great video Gareth, the lake distrixt is so beautiful,I used to go to the wild boar which is on the crook to Windermere road.I also love Keswick and stay in a lovely farm in the Newland's valley.The cornish pasty looked so good,well done .

Pint and a pie living life bro 👏🏻👌🏻

Hi Gareth, I enjoyed this relaxing video. Although, you seem extremely down recently! Is everything okay? Hope you’re doing alright and you know, blink if ya need help ☺️

Looks lovely l bet it'll be busy in summer lol.. it's a shame you're driving or u could've had a few pints lol

Really Love These 👍 On The Road Again Adventures Cheers 🍻 BFG And It Just Reminds Me Of What A Stunningly Beautiful Island 🏝 We All Live On and To Use A BFG phrase We Are Lucky Lucky People 👍Great Video 📹 With A Cracking Pint 🍺 And Cornish Pasty Review Happy Days 🙂

Can't beat a real Cornish pasty, always packed with filling. Looks "spot on" :) Good video, loved the Tour.

Lovely video Gareth

What a stunning place, never been up to the lakes, something we must do, we dont live far from cornwall so go to the lizard for our hols ect. and have had pasties from the cornish bakery and they are nice but my favorite are philps pasties. Gurt lovely 😊👍

The Fizzy Tarte lol, enjoyed this one, l fancied a row on the lake in one of the wooden boats, felt like l was there, loved the feel of the quietness, a quiet pint. Probably I'm getting old ha

Great touring blog there mate, wonderful scenery., loveed the drive through the woods and the water views. I was in Lake District 25 years ago. Your pasty looked very nice. I have to give the tour and pasty a 9.

Got my reminder on for tomorrow. Lovely scenery🙂x

what a nice change for you to be out & about, lovely scenery, lovely weather, & a lovely pint & pastie.

We come to the lakes usually twice a year,we love it more than foreign holidays, such a lovely place :)

I love that area SO much thank you Gareth. May I suggest a trip to The Drunken Duck one day. When I went there last time the food was incredible. I can also recommend the food in the pubs in Coniston. Thanks as always for showing the world my idea of heaven. Sadly travelling is difficult for me these days due to ill health, so when you do these days out in the Lakes I can dream that I am back there in my happy place. You really are a gem.

Lovely place

An old rowing spot in my youth as my School used the area a lot for rowing, canoeing, rock climbing, fell walking and many Geography lessons. In later life I travelled the shore fitting carpets in water side mansions.

Hi Gareth, lovely look around Bowness, such a lovely day too. Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing 🌞 xx

Great vlogs Gareth..best wishes to your good lady.. keep well Hun..💐

Thanks Gareth lovely to see round the lakes and the town , Looks great to spend a few days with my good lady , Plenty of pubs I see lol . Can’t wait to come up for a few days . Thanks again Gareth brilliant video, ☝️🍺❤️

Eh up Gazza hows tha doin. Great video. The scenery is beautiful. I cant believe I never visited lake windermere. Maybe next time I'm in england. My missus says you really suit the spot on cap. And I should let you know. She says if I dont let you know shes gonna make me do the dishes for the rest of my life. Lol.

Holiday vibe, you and the good lady should have a look at Brighton the lanes have a great atmosphere.

You should visit the hole in the wall if it's still there. They used to have an Irish day on Sundays it was absolutely brilliant, Irish music and bands, folk music and people used to be able to join in too, it was wonderful, very family oriented . Makes me want to go there now , we're only 40 minutes drive away

A great place to be on such a fabulous day. Thanks for the trip Gareth and showing us the sights.

The Lake District is wonderful part of the country. We visited Windermere and Ambleside many years ago as we were fortunate to hire a lovely little farm cottage not far from there.

25k subs!! You had like 1.2k when we started watching you like 6 months ago :') What a journey!

You got a cracker of a day there Gareth. It's a lovely place, no wonder it's so popular with the tourists. Love the Wildfowl on the Lake, bit of a safe haven for them, loads of people taking their wee bags of breadcrumbs to feed them. Like you say, the streets will be chock a block in the Summer. Lovely video Gareth, take care and stay safe 😘xxx

What a lovely place . How lucky are you to live there Cornish pastry looked nice Best wishes gareth 🎇

Well Gareth what a lovely place Bowness is, and Windemere too. That pint and the Cornish pastie along with the scenery and sunshine put me in the holiday mood too. You are a complete natural on camera delivering your wee tours, very enjoyable pal. See you Friday 👍👋🍻

Well that was a nice way to start me day off,a trip round the lakes. Good pint that still had the froth clinging to the side of the glass when you finished it. Could murder that pastie like😋

Amazing beautiful place bowness I got married at the bellsfield hotel but you didn’t show it unfortunately, amazing place I could see McDonald’s hotel tho stayed their night before and personally the hallways reminded me of the film “ the shining “ 😂😂

When we visited the Lake District about ten years ago we stayed at the Swan Hotel on lake Windermere. I remember the food there was amazing, especially their fish and chips. They had an old guest book with signatures from the 1800s.

That was brill happy days 😘

You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful place ❤

Hi Gareth. This takes me back. Such a great place for a visit. Went with my wife a few years ago for a very enjoyable short break and were lucky enough to be able to get a table in a restaurant called Francine's, near where you come in to Windermere. Remember it so well. Had the turbot and I must say it was one of the best meals I have ever had. Don't know if it's still there though. Must go back someday. Love the video and hope you enjoyed yourself. All the best

lovely

Top video ...not been up lake's in a while ...its on the books now

Lovely looking place.

Hi, Gareth. Another great show. Good to get out and about on a sunny day. Amazing scenery looking out to the water. The cornish pastie looked delicious too. Seemed good value for the price. Please keep doing more of the outdoor reviews. Best wishes from Scotland.

Love the Lake District. So beautiful. My husband proposed to me there 53 years ago.

Nice change that fella... 👍 I think those pasties are over rated myself and 4 quid for a bout of ingestion!!!! 😂 I'm like you with pastry mate to much doesn't agree with me. Glad your doing these little trips around the lakes. I've never been and the wife says she would love to go. Keep em coming matey 👍👍

Hi Gareth it’s mark your regular viewer another spot on video how is your good lady ??

Looks spot on going there in September for my sisters wedding

Been 17 up North 😁for a change lol love the Lakes so beautiful

Went through here last year, it was heavin with people, on my way up to bays brown campsite through Ambleside.

That pasty reminded me of the time a seagull took half of my pasty in St Ives :) It swooped in from behind and took it, they have it down to a T these seagulls and their a big bird too. 🤣🤣

Wow that looks lovely. I'd bet the place is swarming in summertime. Delightful review/tour 👍

Lovely part of the country. Down south where we are there is scarcely a 5 minute drive between sea and open countryside - we are very lucky here in Sussex. And in fact where we live it is a place where the countryside almost 'kisses' the sea with the Telscombe Tye right opposite our house and the sea around 200 yards down the road - lovely location.

Wow Gareth, I've travelled to the four corners of the globe but never been to windermere. That is going to change very soon. Lovely job owd warrior 👍
