I came across this site 44 years ago when Dad, Mr Murphy was running the farm and herding the cattle; my daughter now 27 yrs used to run along side the cows at milking time and we called her Katie cow girl. Anne Murphy used to look after the chickens, calfs and lambs and Stephen was nowt but a lad. They made their own milk on the farm,which we could buy and of course the eggs. It was fairly busy at times then but you could pick and choose your quiet moments. We swam in the tarn back then from one side to another but being aware that you can easily drown, as the memorial is only too real. It is one of my favourite places in the Lakes, and although I rarely camp there anymore, it holds some very happy memories. Least of all the time we got caught out in a bad storm and the few tents remained got blown around the campsite, some ended up sleeping in the toilet ... yes the little toilet!
