Britain/United Kingdom/England/Expert Profile
Expertise
I live and work in Cumbria, better known as the Lake District. I know the best and the worst about Cumbria. Yes, it does rain a lot in Cumbria, but then we have the best lakes, forests, walks of any where in Northern England. From Wordsworth to the Romans, Cumbria has it all. Just ask me for further (on the spot) details.
Experience in the area
Having lived in London for 20 years and then moving away, I realised that I hadn't seen half of "tourist" London. I won't make the same mistake with Cumbria. I have travelled to the top of fells and the the bottom of mines. One day I might just have to leave all this behind and move on. I would regret not exploring one of the best areas of the UK.
Organizations
I work for an Agricutural Company based in Cumbria. My work takes me all over Cumbria visiting various farms.
