ambleside

funny story here but the last time i was i ambleside, i was three years old! naturally, have absolutely no recollection of it but got a kick out of re-visiting all the same. the belsfield opened right onto the bowness-on-windermere pier (it's a sweet stroll through the grounds to reach the main road by the pier) and oh-so-easy to take the cruise over to ambleside. had a leisurely wander around ambleside stopping every few metres for nibbles (sigh!) and while it was v-e-r-y quiet, seeing all the kit shops on massive sale only served to fan my wanderlust. had to remind myself i've more kit than i need and should really not be encouraging the wilderness bug, seeing how london has slowly edged out being in the mountains on weekends :(
