Hello from the Heart of the Lakeland

[FellPipe]

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the tips too.
I think that I have given the wrong impression a little though sorry, I can't go to the Gawith factory and make orders, I have no privilege there at all.
My only benefit over others is that my local tobacconist seems to have a close relationship with GH and has not failed me before, I doubt my request have been too obscure though.
That said I'm happy to enquire there on the behalf of anyone though.
Sorry for the confusion.
I'll be sure to post a photo of my questionable RDF though. Fingers crossed!

Wow, that’s really cool you live so close to the Gawith factory! That’s some beautiful country out there.
Welcome from Texas!

Welcome from Monterey California. I suspect you are about to acquire a whole raft of new best friends ?

 

[The Clay King]

Welcome from Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
I'm on the edge of the Peak District, like you I'm in a very attractive part of the country that I hope to explore a bit more once it's safer to travel.
I like to put my redcoat uniform on and smoke a clay pipe.
I'm interested in living history re-enactment and this is how I got into pipes, it started with seeing re-enactors smoking clay pipes so when I saw some for sale on the flea market I bought one.
Unfortunately I broke it not long after but I've had plenty more since!

I go to Aireys of Kendal.
It's only a small newsagents but they have a decent selection of pipe tobacco and if you call them and place an order they can usually get what you're looking for quickly. Or at least they could 4 years ago, when last I was buying.

Aireys is a cracking wee shop and like you say, always have a good selection of the local tobacco ? It’s a pity it’s such a bloody pain to get to from the opposite side of the county ? (especially as we’re now inundated with tourists!).

Welcome from Tennessee

The Lake District is one of my favorite parts of the world, those deep blue lakes, roaming sheep, daffodils, English music halls, Wordsworth lore, and hikers. Welcome aboard from central North Carolina.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the voyage.

I'm glad to hear the majik of this place has reached across the pond.
I was brought up here and have always considered myself very lucky.
Only spent 12 hours in America, on a stop over flight once.
It's on my bucket list to explore your fantastic continent at some point... and sample your tobacco of course

Welcome from Virginia!

The moment I saw the word 'Lakeland' I knew you would make lots of new friends here. Your message inbox is probably loaded already. ?

Enjoy your camping trip!

FellPipe, the U.S. has a lot of territory, so it is likely best to plan carefully and visit selectively, using air travel and rental cars. Driving takes too much time, unless you are an ardent driver, and even so. I'd pick maybe three urban centers, and strategically placed small town and rural areas probably including National Parks. You can see a lot in a week or two, if well planned.
