Only takeaways  7 October due to staff problems (Get a grip Costa)

Back in Hawes coffee in Fodders before leaving a good drive up but country roads are a bit muddy at this time of the year.

Washing today nice big machine here. Coffee at The Creamery not bad for a change just busy with tourists.

Because there is no food waste bins in the washing up area on some sites people have started throwing there food waste under the bushes outside the toilet block here in Hawes UGH!
