Thank you everyone for your suggestions, and I am sorry if this has been asked before, Ishould have searched the forums a bit more thoroughly.
There are some great ideas there, and I shall try to plan things so I can watch the sunset at Castlerigg, which is a fabulous idea. I completely fell in love with it when I visited before (fortunately on a freezing cold day, so there were very few other people there, something I gather doesn't happen all that often!)
Yes, that was my first post. I have been spending hours on end look at all the sites here, but have never quite had the courage to post anything! Thank you all for being so friendly :-)
Best wishes to one and all,
BeakerUK
