The Puzzling Place

Tuesday saw us all go to the Puzzling Place at Keswick. It was really amazing - some of the rooms made us feel quite disorientated & sick, but definitely worth a visit if you are in Keswick!

A long day walking today

Climbed up The Old Man Of Coniston today, then on to Swirl How, about 9.5 miles with Carl, Dad & Jake. On our return home Jake still wanted to play with his tennis ball - mad dog!

Grange Over Sands

We have just had a couple of lovely days at Meathop Fell Caravan Club Site, I know it's a bit of a busman's holiday, but the weather was just fab & the vodka & coke flowed well!

Bob enjoyed his break too, as this was his first time off the pitch since we arrived, so the run out will have done him good!

See 'Bob' the Bailey below (No pun intended to my old boss!)

Park Coppice, Coniston

We have been on site now for over a month and have settled in really well. The weather has been great for this area, as most of our rain has been in the evening. We are approx 1 mile from the village of Coniston, and we have walked into the village numerous times with many a pub stop en-route.

Lake Coniston from Park Coppice

Our Lake District week

Comes to an end tomorrow morning after breakfast, we have had a lovely time and done loads...

Last Sunday we started to assend Grisdale Pike - but the weather turned very cold and we turned round half way up, but we did manage about 7.5 miles walking.
Monday we did some forest walking and got lost, so about 4 miles on that day!
Tuesday, best day for the weathersaw, us all walk up Skiddaw. With a summit at 931 m (3,054 ft) above sea level it is the fourth highest mountain in England.
About 6 miles and feeling the pain!!
Rest of the week has been on the flat, Ambleside & the coast!!

Our neighbours...

At Kirkby Lonsdale till next week

Finally we have 3G and a phone signal, last week in the Wales & Gargrave we didn't have either - also no TV, nice!

Anyway we are here till next week and then we head to the Lakes for our wedding anniversary treat - a lovely B&B for a week.

Yesterday we had a trip into Grange-over-sands, the weather was just fab, we even managed a beer sat in the beer garden with no coats on it was so warm! Think we won't move to far from site this weekend & we will let the day tourists do their things and we will head off somewhere on Monday when it's quieter!

Off to Anglesey today

We have had a lovely time in Llanrwst since Friday, we visited the coast at prestatyn and had a long walk on the beach there with jake, yesterday we went into betws y coed and walked up the river. Yet again, we have been extremely lucky with the old weather - not much sun ( but it is feb ), no rain and hardly any wind!

We leave the welsh mainland today & head off to a site near Red Warf Bay on Angelsey.

Chirk

We arrived at Lady Margaret's park yesterday afternoon. Thought it would only take about an hour to set the motorhome up, but it actually took over two - so we weren't impressed. We had a surprisingly warm & cosy night despite the outside temperature being a lot lower than freezing. Tomorrow it is forecast to drop to around -10 deg, so I think Carl & I will be fighting to have Jake in our sleeping bag!!!

Theres lovely see...

Finally, we have just arrived in Wales for the start of our holiday for the next few weeks!
