Militant walking

Took a turn with the dogs round Ratherheath Tarn, near Staveley, in the Lakes, ignoring the notices forbidding access to anyone other than members of the Windermere Angling Association.

I knew that I was safe from challenge by those who get their fun from aquatic torture because it was so cold that the water was frozen and the fish, for once were left unmolested.

And while we wandered around this beautiful spot, with only the squirrels and pheasants for company, I began to wonder how it could be reserved for the guilty pleasures of anglers.

So I challenge Windermere Anglers Association to sue me.
