Hi.seadogg, thanks for the info. I'm afraid I don't know much about the Lake District. Can you tell me why they got that name.please? Does gill mean tarn?

[seadogg]

Gill or Gyll or Ghyll is the name given by the Norse settlers to the fast flowing streams running down from the mountains to join with the rivers in the Lake District and other hilly areas of Northern England Hence "Sourmilk being common as the water is white coming down the fell.

I live in the lake district and I hate it.See one hill and you,ve seen them all.Tourists all over the place all year round.Fiends(yes FIENDS)not Friends of the Lake District dictate every aspect of it and they all live in London anyway.They are hated around here by the way.Blast it to Hell and get rid of those stupid out of date little winding roads

Thanks again,seadogg. Intended to spend a holiday in a caravan there several years ago but came home early as it rained (heavily) every day! Will perhaps go again. Met someone in Fort William who comes from the Lake District and spends his holidays in Scotland every year-he couldn't understand why we would want to visit the Lake District when we have such beautiful scenery here. Saying that we have loved all our holidays in England-just unlucky that time.
