(16 Aug 2016, 11:44 am)Michael wrote I'm in the lakes and it's nice today, had no rain so far BUT i'm camping tonight so no doubt it'll rain...I'm thinking of doing the Lakes again tomorrow. Going to try and catch the open top Volvo Olympian on the 508 from Patterdale to Penrith and possibly a round trip on the 77.
If I go away to Blackpool for a weeks holiday again next year I'm going to do a whole day there again, but this time I may go straight from Blackpool to Windermere on the train rather than get the 42 from Blackpool to Lancaster then the 555 although I was pleased I did that especially as I bagged a Volvo Olympian on the 42 but next time I will start earlier to fit more within the Lakes in a day as it's tricky doing a decent outing there from Newton Aycliffe due to travel restraints. May do Lancaster on a separate day, getting the 42 to/from Blackpool.
