Autumn in the Lakes.

The long wait for our new puppy continues. We’ve decorated the ‘nursery’ under the stairs and put some child proof gates in various places. We now officially have more gates than Buckingham Palace! To stop us from talking puppies all day we headed to the Camping and Caravan Club site at Keswick. Whenever we try to get on here its always fully booked, however we booked 4 nights, arrived here Sunday 1st November and on arrival we were given the best pitch on the site.  The only one with an uninterrupted view of the lake.  Again the weather was glorious for our entire stay.  We walked an average of 12 miles a day, ate out every night apart from one and annoyed the sales lady in an outdoor clothing shop that was closing down . With only 4 days left of the shop we went in every day, sometimes twice, and made her tempting but silly offers for some of her items, Eg waterproof breathable trousers...”5 pounds and no more”.  This was one of quite a few really enjoyable uk breaks that we’ve had this year...feel so lucky.

The best pitch on the site without doubt.

We walked around the entire lake from Keswick, this is early on in the walk and on the north eastern section.
