Over the last couple of days people have had problems accessing our site with pages either not loading at all or only loading in part with messages like "This site can't be reached – WalkLakes.co.uk took too long to respond".

We tracked this down to (slightly bizarrely) a problem with the display of the Lake District weather forecast on the site's home page. The Met Office had changed they way they give us the data, that resulted in errors when you tried to load the page, and that in turn triggered our filters which keep the site safe from bots etc.

Anyway hopefully this is now fixed but if you are still having problems then please do shout.
