Last weekend I was in the Lake District for my stag party, a wild weekend of climbing up mountains under blue skies, riding mountain bikes in the snow and eating good food. Despite being under strict instructions not to be seen with a camera, watching the sunset over Lake Windermere, I couldn’t resist. Instagram for…
