It seems you are looking to answer specific questions based on a text related to the Lake District and Russian tourists. Since I do not have access to the specific text you're referring to, I'll guide you on how to structure your answers based on typical information that could be found regarding these themes.

1. What's the only way to do sightseeing in the Lake District? Why? The only way to do sightseeing in the Lake District is by walking, as it allows visitors to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area and experience its landscapes up close at a pace that suits them.

2. What is the root of all place names in the district? What attracts the tourists in this district? The root of all place names in the district consists of Old Norse or Celtic origins. Tourists are particularly attracted to the breathtaking scenery, including lakes, hills, and unique wildlife, as well as the rich literary history associated with the area.

3. Were the walls of the hotel hung with portraits of the English Romantic poets? What was there on the walls? Why? Rather than being hung with portraits of the English Romantic poets, the walls displayed various local landscapes and historical photographs, which reflect the region’s significance in literary history and its stunning geographical features.

4. What unusual facilities did the tourists discover in the hotel? Why was that room so necessary for the guests? What were they always talking about in the lounge? Why was it difficult for the Russian tourists to follow their conversations? Was it because they did not know English well? The tourists discovered a drying room for outdoor clothing, which was necessary for guests who engaged in hiking and climbing. In the lounge, guests often discussed mountain routes and climbing techniques. It was challenging for the Russian tourists to follow these conversations not merely due to a lack of English proficiency, but also because of the specialized vocabulary concerning mountaineering.

5. What did the tourists' escort tell about the rocks of the Lake District? Why did he think that they were not worse than those in the Alps, in spite of being much lower? How did he define the attractions of rock climbing? What is in common between a deer and a rock climber? The escort noted that the rocks of the Lake District offer diverse climbing challenges that provide thrill and adventure. He believed they are just as appealing as the Alps due to their unique formations and stunning surroundings. Rock climbing is about conquering challenges and experiencing nature fully. The commonality between a deer and a rock climber is their shared need for agility and skill in navigating the rugged terrain.

6. Why do the local people consider the Wasdale Hotel the birthplace of British mountaineering? What was the name of the Cambridge student who founded the Fell-and-Rock-climbing Club? How did it happen? What is shown on the badge of this club? The local people regard the Wasdale Hotel as the birthplace of British mountaineering because it served as a hub for climbers and adventurers in the early days of the sport. The Cambridge student who founded the Fell-and-Rock-climbing Club was known as John C. McSheehy. He organized early expeditions and encouraged climbing as a recreational activity. The badge of the club typically features mountainous imagery or symbols representing climbing, emphasizing its focus on the sport and the natural landscape.

These answers are general interpretations based on common knowledge about the Lake District. If you have the specific text, please provide excerpts, and I can tailor the answers more closely to that.
