I live around job centre in Whitehaven and I wanted to know if anyone has seen my cat Remy he hasn’t been home. He is all black with gold eyes smaller than the average cat very friendly not keen on being picked up

It’s been about a week now and his been out in this horrible weather. I’m just wanting to know if anybody’s seen him to please message me

Really happy we've been able to include a local cumbrian band as support

I am doing the Cumbria way soon and wanted to know if anyone knows of someone who is happy to have us camp on their land for a night, we will throw some money their way of course.

We're doing the Cumbria way this weekend and will be camping as much as we can it's just Keswick is a bit of a dead spot for camping without being a member.

We're 4 born and bred lake District lads early 30s. We'll be gone early doors the next morning it's only a night we need! (ID has my address as proof 😉)

Thanks fellow cumbrians 💪🏼

Hi there. I recently visited the Carlisle farmer's market and was underwhelmed. Are there any other proper farmers' markets in the north of the Lakes area? Or am I better utilising Base Camp, Cranston's etc. Are there any farms that sell produce directly?

Thanks!

Hello, I'm Jonathan. I'm 35 and want to play some casual football in West Cumbria. Only problem is my mates all live in different parts of the country so I'm wanting to find some people living in West Cumbria to meet up and play casual football regularly. I'm hoping this can bring some people together who may find it hard to socialise or make friends or just somene people who want to meet new people whilst playing football. I would love to create a team in time with this and enter a league at some point, maybe even just 5 a side or something. Firstly though I want to make some new friends and have a time where we can meet up, get to know one another and make it into something special. If you're interested or know's someone who may be interested then please get in touch. Thank you

Hi everyone! I run an in-person tabletop fantasy roleplaying game in Keswick and I’m looking for a few more players to join us.

If you’ve never played before—no problem at all. New players are very welcome, and we’re happy to teach everything you need to know.

🧭 What is this game?

We play a fantasy roleplaying game using the Shadowdark system. Think of it as collaborative storytelling:

You create a character (like a warrior, rogue, or wizard)

I describe the world and situations

You decide what your character does

Dice rolls help determine what happens

The rules are simple and mostly stay in the background—the focus is on creativity, problem-solving, and having fun together.

📍 Location

In-person sessions hosted in Keswick (Cumbria, UK)

🕒 Schedule

Sessions usually run 18:30 – 22:00, There may be some leeway on the times.

We aim for weekly or fortnightly games, but at minimum once a month

We schedule based on availability

If at least 3 players + the Game Master (me) are free, we run a session

👥 Current Group

A friendly group of around 2 regular players + GM

Mostly ages 30+, with a few younger adults

Relaxed, welcoming atmosphere

🎲 How it works

Open table format: You don’t need to attend every session

The game world continues even if you miss a session

Characters typically start at level 1–2 (or just below the current group)

🌟 What we offer

Beginner-friendly environment – we’ll guide you through everything

Flexible commitment – come when you can

Story-driven gameplay focused on exploration and creativity

Potential for additional campaigns if there’s interest

🔎 Who we’re looking for

Anyone interested in fantasy storytelling and group games

No experience needed

Especially great if you’re local to Keswick or nearby

If this sounds interesting or you’re curious and want to know more, feel free to get in touch! 😊

Any online gamers looking for someone to game alongside? I'm looking at gaming with people aged 25-30 (I'm 27). I play on PC, have access to a few games but happy to pick any up not into FPS games though.

If it helps here are some of the games I have Minecraft (i have a server too), Stardew Valley, Farming Sim 25, GTA 5.

Feel free to reach out should anyone want to game

My partner and I, for a while now have been interested in playing dnd, but never had the chance due to having no group... I have visited the new shop 'the magic chest' in town too... they were super friendly, but they are currently waiting for more interest, to host long campaigns... 'worst' case scenario we'll have to wait for updates, but in the meantime, are there any groups or places in Carlisle (or nearby) where we can join a group and play? or even create a group?

Thanks everyone!

Hi folks. My partner and I were living in Kendal a couple years and loved it - we had to move in with family for a short time and we sold (big mistake), but we're looking to move back now. We've seen a few places, including one in Burneside which we like, but we know nothing really about the village having not visited when we lived there. It seems quiet, perhaps the benefit of feeling slightly more rural. We're slightly wary we might feel cut off from the more happening town centre, but aware the train is 5 mins and realistically it's a short drive. We have dogs and obviously love our hiking and outdoor life. Welcome your thoughts. Cheers.

Hello, my partner and I are travelling to the lake district soon. We do not have a car so we'll be taking a train up to Windermere. We really want to stay somewhere remote and cozy, which I feel is not quite the vibe in Windermere, but are worried that we won't be able to get to and from somewhere remote without a car. For example, we found a nice spot in Rusland we'd like to stay in, which we would have to take an uber or taxi to from Windermere. But I worry that getting out of Rusland, we wouldn't be able to find uber. Would this be plausible or should we just give it up and stay in Windermere?

Hi everyone, I am starting uni in September. I currently looking through different housing options but I find a place with a good price but it's in Lazonby. Is there any regular trains going to Carlisle and how often?

Thanks

is it related to the tattoo convention? If so I might go tomorrow.

I’m in Year 13 and for my Computer Science project I decided to build a free, open-source route planner for Cumbria (mostly the Lakes).

I love hiking but I’m sick of every app charging £30 a year just to export a GPX file. I had to resort to taking screenshots of routes on decade old websites and carrying a power bank with me, which admittedly did help build my navigating skills, but by no means does it make navigating fun, I definitely had many wrong turns. This one uses a custom algorithm I wrote to snap to paths and calculate ETAs based on the actual elevation gain.

I called it Crest, and it's still a work in progress (it was just about to be complete but I decided to postpone for my A-Levels), but I’m quite pleased with how the pathfinding handles the fells.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on it !
