We are on the move again and have spent 2 days up at Troutbeck head campsite Nr. Keswick the Covid rules were good with the toilet block open for 2 toilets and 2 hand sinks. I was surprised at the amount of small campers with no shower facilities fitted on site and did see one person body washing in the toilet block. One major issue was the sanitizer fluid containing the rubber bands froze up this morning good job I have done an ice axe breaking course. The small PeugeotExpert Van next to us. Had that many doors that were opened and closed about 10 times a minute for a while was disturbing and a source of entertainment as the guy had moved pitches once but failed to leave the electrical problem (it came with him) after about 30 minutes the warden came to check but all was well with the electrics next morning he moved again to a new pitch. I can imagine it failing its MOT on worn out doors. The electric problem is still about and has attacked another motorhome. Due to people using all their own facilities they run the heating, boiler, television, microwave and kettle all at once and don’t understand the maths…..Volts X Amps = Watts. …
Had a cycle down to Threlkeld coffee shop to meet some friends coming back was uphill into the wind and the first hills for nine months and a bit of a struggle? Had a couple of walks during the afternoon and nearly had to send for mountain rescue as I got crag fast on top of a speed ramp on the campsite road (yes I know WHIMP) but these are the first hills we have come across and it’s a bit scary for us oldies.

Good drive down today took the long route down through the Lakes to see the impact was with us all been allowed to travel. Got here about 1300 and booked in now to meet some friends for coffee and a bit of shopping for tea.
Hi folks we are mobile again and have started our travels again will catch up soon as the first campsite has no internet or phone signal (No its not on Mars) although travelling may seem a bit out of this world for a while.
Last night had the camera out again and caught the Badger 3 times after our tracking skills have now found its run from the set. Click image for BIG.
We also managed to get a film of a Hare
Out for a 30 minuet run again today then met up with friends from Keswick to show them the old forest on the beach at Maryport. We then walked among the flowers the Daffs are now receding and the Two-lips are coming through and even the Dandelions’ even look good. Click images for BIG……

Have had our second Covid jab now so we are good to go traveling now and have made plans to move soon. This morning we arrived back just in time to feed the lambs
Great day for cycling yesterday so a small 15 mile cycle down the Dog Path (cycle way)? Unusually a strange day for comments normally everybody OK which prompts me to list a few comments we hear. Had a 10 min. run out in the motorhome to spin the wheels.
Get off the road!
Get off the Path.
Haven’t you got a bell?
Ringing your bell made me jump.
This is not a cycle way.
You’re going too fast.
A wet start to the day but we did manage to get out for a walk eventually.
Lots of Walking and finished my next project Shaun the sheep see below
What a lovely day out yesterday but only a fool would travel that far and back at the start of April. So back to cycling again this morning then a long walk what a lovely day.
