sitting right next to the crackling log fire. Can't fault ya, there's plenty of hills in the lake district you can get to by public transport, me and April go there every weekend
I'm lucky that I'm able to go walking midweek sometimes too. What are the Sunday bus services like in the Lakes Beefy? In the Peak District they're pretty much the same as the rest of the week, possibly even better in some aspects...loads of walkers use them to travel out from Sheffield...and the climbers/boulderers as well.
