Kirkstone Pass is awe-inspiring, but then so is the whole of the Lake District, magical place. I loved something I found in a book once, that Coleridge went for a long-distance trek from Keswick with nothing but some port and a fresh pair of socks. No mention of Goretex :D and port not ideal for dehydration, but there we go :) Joana Starneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150637735779894393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-51704339764284719742016-07-22T21:07:21.339+01:002016-07-22T21:07:21.339+01:00Thanks, Melinda, I'm so glad you liked the pos...Thanks, Melinda, I'm so glad you liked the post and the photos!! So true about the dogs. I hope it was a joke, but sadly they probably did that and worse 200 years ago...Joana Starneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150637735779894393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-9414363635955376602016-07-22T21:05:44.185+01:002016-07-22T21:05:44.185+01:00Thanks, Elizabeth, I'm so glad you liked the p...Thanks, Elizabeth, I'm so glad you liked the post! Oh, that would be quite a Clash of the Titans indeed :D although the real-life landlord was nothing like the Rules. Maybe it was a former incumbent :)Joana Starneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150637735779894393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-47709741122701895662016-07-22T13:31:44.448+01:002016-07-22T13:31:44.448+01:00I've always thought they must have gone to the...I've always thought they must have gone to the Lakes-that Darcy would have wanted to treat his wife to the trip she missed out on- your suggestions for inns are wonderful-love the rules!

How horrid to think of giving dogs "spirituous liquors" before a fight - to make them more aggressive, perhaps.

The landlord was obviously a man with stern moral principles and woe betide anyone who dared to behave in a way he thought unseemly!<br /><br /> I found myself wondering how he would have reacted to Lady Catherine - it would be like the Clash of the Titans!Elizabeth Hawksleyhttp://www.elizabethhawksley.comnoreply@blogger.com
