Cantousent Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Okay, I need to know, hopefully from folks who live around or have visited, all about Nr. Ambleside, Cumbria England and Rutland Leicestershire, England. Are these nice areas? Is there a lot to do around there? How's the weather in March? Please, wax poetic.

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I've been to Ambelside, but I wouldn't have a clue as to what it's weather is like. I remember a pub that was in an alley I think and not a whole heck of a lot after that. No wait, I remember a pond or something in the middle of the town with some giant swans. Really.

Moose Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 The weather in March is virtually impossible to comment on, but it's been pretty cold all February with parts of the country dipping into the minus temperatures during the day.

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I just need to find my photo album. I took pictures. It helps me remember. Really though, Eldar, I went to the UK on holiday and that was a stop along the way. I know I have a picture in my album, because I can recall putting it in there and writing 'Ambelside' underneath. :KQD is not full of **** emoticon: Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 And my scanner doesn't work, so here's a picture of a picture I took. :ph34r: It's blurry all to **** but the white blobs beside the grey blobs are the big swans.

SteveThaiBinh Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Ambleside's in the Lake District, so though I've never been to the village itself, the surrounding area is beautiful, excellent for hikers/walkers, and has at least some infrastructure for tourists. March weather? It will be gloomy. There will be rain. We were promised a harsh winter, and it hasn't happened yet, so I guess snow in March is a real possibility.

Cantousent Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Wow, those swans are pretty damned big. Great, Ambleside's been billed as a nice area and the place we're going has a lot of great amenities. I just hoped that there were a couple of people who could verify that before we finalized the plans.

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 You know Eldar, you should postpone your trip until late July/August. I went to the Reading Rock Festival in ...can you guess? Reading, and had a hoot of a time. I have no clue how far it is from Ambelside, but everything is connected by trains anyway. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

metadigital Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yes, everything is connected by trains. Filthy overcrowded and late trains. <_< Meta: Nothing works _IN_ London. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ... And all the trains run through London, where you can opt for a random derailment and probable serious injury! The fact that all trains connect through the London hub means that to get from one county to an adjacent one, you generally have to travel to London and back out again. Also, you'll be expected to keep your original mortgage statement with you, to give to the Train Operator. The French tourist guide actually describes the British train system as "quaint" and "historic". Certainly it ain't punctual (a report published a week or two ago stated that a train is cancelled every five minutes). Things do work in London, you just have to pay ten times the advetised price to get a working version. @Steve, that was a quote from Bridget Jones's Diary.

Walsingham Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yes, and for god's sake don't try to buy beer or other alcoholic beverages in London. You will be bankrupt before the second round. If you want to stretch your money make damn certain you stay in the North and Northeast. Yorkshire is great if you want comparatively cheap, and plenty of outdoors stuff. Personally I've always disliked Scotland as a place to visit. Bad food, miserable people, and nothing to do. But then, since I hate the place I can hardly be expecetd to know its good side. then on the other hand if it's so great why is one always running into scotsmen 'abroad'? "It wasn't lies.
