    During the rain my North Face coat eventually leaked water through a sleeve so I replaced in when we returned to Keswick.. (The North Face one cost £200 £4.24 from Boo.com 15 years ago so hardly owes me anything)...

    Then a bit of shopping but no decent Innis and Gunn in Booths so spent £20 on other beer instead including a bottle of yellow lorry. I doubt that's the easiest thing to order after a few pints..
    Sounds like fun

    I must get up to the Lakes again sometime. It's a few years since I've been up there.

        Its one of the big advantages of where we choose to live. Sunday a 1 hour drive to Whitby over the moors, yesterday a 90 minute drive to the Lakes. And the Yorkshire Dales are 30 minutes away...

        It also gave me a lot of time to think. And plan b is getting scrapped to resurrect a far earlier plan b....

                  Do you have much problem with the polar bears, being that far north?

                  Just asking, like.

                    I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
                    And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
                    And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
                    And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking,

                    I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
                    Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
                    And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
                    And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

                    I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
                    To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
                    And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
                    And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

                      10 minute walk to the lakes for me

                      Then I do live in what is called the lake district
