We're due to be going up there soon for a bit of a break, but I'm wondering about all this rain. Is it floodied up there like if was a couple of years ago?

It's always raining in Cumbria. It's the wetest place in the UK.

You'll be fine Jules, there has been a lot of rain this last week but it has been a more constant rainfall overall rather than very heavy downpours or cloud bursts which tend to lead to the rivers bursting and flooding. The ground is very wet and the rivers quite high but seem to be coping quite well, well on the south west coast anyway.

The village of Seathwaite in the upper Borrowdale valley and surrounding fells are on average the wettest place in the UK and Cross Fell on the Cumbrian Pennines is average coldest place. We also have the highest mtn, deepest water and smallest church all in the same valley. There done my bit for tourism.....

Thats maybe why they decided to call part of it the Lake district. They did have a vote and Dessert was not popular.

They shouldn't have called it the Lake District, that title is a little optimistic considering there is only one lake.

LOL

The gurniest face as well, I might be a candidate for that though......

Is that comp held in Wasdale as well? I thought it was a tad further north?
