cheap wholesale jordans1. Because nobody else is
Not true, actually, but there are definitely fewer visitors to contend with in the moody autumn months, which means cheaper rooms, quieter footpaths and more chance of bagging fire-side seats at cosy country pubs.

cheap jordans online. Speaking of pubs...
“The Lake District has a wealth of historic pubs and inns to explore, some of which date back centuries,” writes Oliver Berry, Telegraph Travel’s destination expert. “Roaring fires and low ceilings are still very much the norm,

3. The autumnal hues
Purples, reds, oranges and yellows; the Lake District becomes a riot of colour in autumn as leaves succumb to the lack of sunlight before finally being stripped from the trees by the strengthening breeze. Depending on who you speak to, this is the prettiest time of year to visit.
4. It is now a World Heritage Site
Unesco status was bestowed upon the Lake District earlier this year, which is something of a doubled-edged sword for the region; on the one hand it means further protection, on the other it means more visitors. Go now before it’s firmly on the Unesco circuit.
5. There’s a hip new hotel
Another Place (that’s its actual name, we don’t mean, simply, another place) swung its doors open in Ullswater this summer. The hotly-anticipated hotel is the brainchild of Will Ashworth, founder of
Watergate Bay, a stylish beach hotel in Cornwall. Another Place, The Lakes (to give it its full name) is an exciting new addition to the local hotel scene. Read our review of the property

6. It has the UK’s (second) best restaurant
At least that’s according to the latest Good Food Guide, which this year crowed L’Enclume in Cartmel a very respectable second place in its annual top 50 list of UK restaurants. The Cumbrian eatery has previously topped that chart and you can read all about it here, in our guide to
the best restaurants in the Lake District.

cheap jordan shoes. The beer is flowing
“Cumbria’s craft beer scene is booming,” reports Berry. “Alongside old stalwarts such as Jennings or Hawkshead Brewery, there’s a host of new breweries – from pub-based Winster Brewery and the Barngates Brewery to independents like the Tarn Hows Brewery in Ambleside, which has scooped awards from CAMRA for its “nano-brewed” beers.”
8. They’re even making whisky
Until recently you had to head north of the border for the hard stuff, but that all changed with the opening of a new distillery near Bassenthwaite Lake. “Founded on the site of a Victorian model farm, the Lakes Distillery is the brainchild of Paul Currie, who previously ran the award-winning Arran Distillery,” writes Berry. “The current range includes a gin, a vodka and a blended whisky,http://users.atw.hu/team-axone/index.php?site=forum_topic&topic=13897cheapjordanshoesfreeshipping.com/bolg, made with crystal-clear river water filtered by the Lakeland fells (a key factor in the taste). There’s also a bistro and tasting bar.”
9. The walks
The famous fell walker Alfred Wainwright counted 214 official fells in his epic seven-book guidebook series, The Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, so there are enough to keep you going for a lifetime. Most walks can be tackled any time of year – though the scenery you’ll walk through arguably looks best in autumn. A word of warning, though: only attempt the high routes in good weather and check the forecast before you set off.
10. Its literary connections
There’s something inspirational about autumn, for writers; the fading light and brooding skies can provoke poetry and summon the most melancholic verse. Plenty of writers called the lakes home; visitors can pay homage to Wordsworth, for instance, at Grasmere, where the scribe kept two cottages, or to Beatrix Potter at Hill Top, near Sawrey, where the writer lived and breathed her beloved Lake District.

Duolingo is another excellent resource for learning languages on-line.
The other consideration is the social aspect of education and I would encourage you get your child into local schools whenever the opportunity presents itself. Keeping a diary and scrapbook,http://progvalton.com/oxwall/blogs/post/1485794cheapjordanshoesfreeshipping.com/bolg, (preferably physically rather than on the cloud), and a photo diary should be mandatory as well as a regular reading programme.?
When the time to return nears, it is worth contacting your preferred secondary school to get help with the process of reintegration, although in nine years time,

Travel is its own education. What is crucial is to nurture the child’s curiosity and provide an opportunity to develop a sense of purpose and a good work ethic.? But what an opportunity.

Kate Shand:?Socialisation will be as important to consider as the academics
Firstly, what an exciting and challenging adventure for you all.?There are many benefits to travelling with children, discovering new cultures and countries, and it’s wise that you are already thinking about the educational framework needed for your son.
Depending on where you are travelling and how long you are planning on staying in each location, there are a number of things to think about. For the?majority of children who are home schooled their learning takes place at a fixed location?so this trip will present interesting?challenges. ?
Socialisation and extra-curricular activities will be as important to consider as the academics and essential if your son is going to make a successful transition into senior school in the years to come.
Are you planning on staying in places for long periods of time? It’s worth thinking about clubs and groups that your son can be involved in ahead of arrival in each location so he is able to interact and develop friendships with children his own age,

During this formative time, your son is going to develop and his physical demands will increase greatly. Will he have access to sports and how will this need to be catered for as he grows older in terms of space and team sports?
The creative arts will also be vital to his all-round development so it's important to think about the space and facilities available to him. ?Structure and routine is essential if your son is going to integrate well into a mainstream secondary school and this will be even more important if you don’t have the consistency of location.
