Thank you. Hope you have a lovely time. The weather forecast for this Friday is good.

Thank you. I'm pleased you've enjoyed them Now that the pandemic is (hopefully) reaching its conclusion I should be able to get out and provide more inspiration for you.

Always been a favourite of mine since my first visit in 1970. In those days we parked our minibus on the slope overlooking the tarn (along with everyone else) and had no idea of its history. We just enjoyed the beauty. A few years later we went over one moonlit night in the middle of winter, and watched skaters on the tarn. There were plenty of folk there, including a chap with a portable hot dog stall down by the dam.

Thank you. September is not so far away now, and during the month that you are here you will be able to see a lot. I'm sure you will love it.

Thank you Mark. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and you are right, it is a beautiful place and well worth exploring.

Thank you. I'm with you on that one, I loved it when I first went in 1970, and enjoy it just as much nowadays. A good friend of mine was there three weeks ago, and saw something I haven't seen for a number of years, a small inversion lifting off the water. She said it was magical.

Thank you. I hope you have a really great time. To extend the walk, check out the Black Crag video, as the walk can be easily completed from Tarn Hows.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Was actually there for a while this afternoon. A bit cloudy, but lovely all the same.

Thank you. I remember my first ever visit to Tarn Hows in 1970. No car park as it is today, we actually parked on the grass overlooking the tarn along with everyone else!

@@jonathancraigguides good old days 👍

Thank you. They are a joy to do.

Thank you. It's one of my favourite places. Not a long or demanding walk, but can be used as a base for other walks such as Black Crag and Holm Fell. It is also in the Cumbria Way footpath. Enjoy.

Hope the autumn colours last for you. Leaves just on the turn here now. It will look stunning in the weeks to come.

My wife and I went at the end of January 2010 and it was frozen solid, although no one was actually skating. But some guys were toboganning down the hill and onto the tarn and it held them. Before we met, my wife went over when she was dating her first husband in the early sixties, probably 1963/64, and not only were there skaters, there was hot dog seller on the ice doing good trade. They stayed until after the sun went down, and people were skating under the full moon. She said it was a magical experience.

It does sound magical indeed, like something you would see in an old B/W movie.. It is a lovely Tarn and somewhere I could easily take my grandchildren too.. Maybe not to Ice skate on though.. ;)

I'm not a skater either, but I've taken nieces and nephews, and they have all loved it.

+Kim Bennett Thanks Kim. All I'm missing is a leading lady with film star looks. You available any time? :-)

Certainly an idyllic setting. Hard to leave at the end of a holiday i would imagine.

+jonathancraigguides Amazing times had. At the time they had no electricity, No running water, No indoor bathroom just a block house with a hole in it. Great times. Pigs and sheep running through the garden in the morning being chased by the farmer.

WHUFC71 Sounds like fun. The kind of experience of which great memories are made.
