Me on my lonesome in the Lake District and yes it was beautiful


               I set off on the Monday for a couple of nights camping in the Lake District.
                My destination was near Ambleside, which was also near Windermere.
                      I am sure Windermere is lovely, but too many tourists for me!

                         So to http://baysbrownfarmcampsite.co.uk/ in Chapel Stile

             A good value campsite. £5 for adults, £3 for children and £2.50 for the car.
                 
                                                  So £15 for 2 nights camping!



Now the first rule about camping is having your own space.

Which I forgot when pitching next to this family..whoops!


I was not best pleased, when I discovered after my return from Scotland,
that I had gained five pounds in weight!

However a strict diet, with the exception of one meal out, 
saw me lose three of them.

I combined good food with a ten mile walk and job done, two more to lose.

I bought the Daily Express hoping for a less biased paper then the Mail,

I was wrong..won't be buying that again!

Ah, the view outside my tent

Great Langdale, me thinks.


Whilst using the loo I decided that a poor dragon fly was very stupid
It saw the glass window and thought it could fly through it
As we know insects can't fly through glass
so I decided to help it and pushed it gently through the opening
The moment it escaped to freedom, it was entwined in a spiders web
promptly injected by said spider and had for breakfast.
Sorry to the dragon fly, but I meant well.

So in the evening it was time..

Wainwright's Inn


A lovely glass of Lime and lemonade


Whilst out on my evening walk I came across

Bowling, how lovely









Interesting, Spongebob 


                                                              From the local quarry

I thought this was a good photo


                                             
                                                            Out for a lovely walk






I saw two fish!


Yes I gave...


Relaxing far from day to day life


The Village, lovely


Back to Wainwright's Inn




Just a few notes to end on

The picture I can't show you is of the sky, lit up at 1 am
full of stars, that I didn't even see in Scotland

That was a view to behold.

The yellow winged bird with a red beak, glorious to behold

And finally the woman hoovering the caravan awning, why?

A lovely place...the lake District...
