Kielder Water

I want to go back right now! Just a beautiful part of the world. It ranks up there with Lochearnhead & the Trossachs. Only it's southwards. It's a kind of twilight zone that straddles Hadrian's Wall, just over the Scottish border. I spent a very easy, very peaceful and a very relaxing family weekend there recently. We were staying in one of a cluster of quaint wooden cabins overlooking the water and surrounded by trees. The forest walks are great (and easy), there's calm water all around, the nearby towns quaint and handy. But the quality family time - priceless!! (except that my wee numpty of a son forgot the power cable for the playstation). Just a beautiful part of the world and a lovely weekend of my life spent with my wife and kids. Something I hope to do again really soon. And next time, we're definitely going to do much more exploring of the well trodden forest footpaths. There was a sign that read 'Elves Viewpoint'. Now I've got to check that out! (images taken with my wee Fuji F60) http://www.visitkielder.com/
