Renton 21234 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I've never been to Eskdale or Wasdale if I'm honest., always wanted to though. They're a bit further out and theres a lot less accommodation, I think? I'm in Keswick this week (rented flat) which has excellent links to all the areas in the lakes except those you mention, and Ennerdale I guess. Ultimately the lakes is the biggest national park but still quite small. I dont think solitude is possible here any more. Saying that Scotland was also rammed for us in August. The country's just not big enough for us all to holiday here imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIA no country has gone into a second lockdown. Is it not necessary in other countries or is everyone waiting for someone to go first? And with that the Republic goes back into lockdown.

The place is bursting at the seams with mancs, scousers, and yes, geordies. I'll be amazed if the infection rate doesn't pick up here. Walks i used to do which were dead at this time of year are packed now. I know I'm part of the problem but the lakes is not what it once was. Can't even find anywhere quiet to have a piss nowadays.

I agree completely, he left it far too late last time and he's going to do the same again. We'd be in lockdown in NI weeks ago but the treasury won't offer the money needed to do it.

Dr Gloom 21802 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 i doubt we will see a return to anything like the lockdown we had in march as long as the NHS has spare capacity and the death rate remains in the low hundreds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently we are nearly at 20,000 new infections a day. With no sign of the numbers really decreasing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Jesus I remember when there was 35 one day and it was shit scary. Funny what you get used to. 20,000 is more than a normal mackem attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
