Animals by the Lakes

Yes, its the animal shots once again. While busy getting lost in the Lake District, chanced upon a Fell Hound Nursery. The owner of the property and gave me a chance to snap some shots, despite of the noise the exciting canine friends were creating.
The Fell Hounds were once used for Fox Hunting, until it was banned two years ago. Nowadays they are used for drag hunting, being more agile plus having better stamina than the Fox Hound, the Fell Hounds were a favourite in this area. So during off season, these lucky dogs get to go to doggy nursery.

Lake District

Went down to the Lake District for a week, driving around nearly freaked me out, narrow windy roads with sheep everywhere.
We stayed in Windermere on Bowness, a lovely lil town. Limefitt camping site is highly recommended, we spotted loads of bunnies hopping around, and in the morning, we were woken up by the sheep.
On the last day, the rain and wind were so severe that part of our tent collapsed lol.
Having spent four days there, we have seen all we needed to see, and we headed off to Yorkshiredale National Park before return to Cambridge.
