Homeward bound

Food at the bank tavern last night was just standard pub fare. Nowt special and quite disappointing really. Food at the dog and gun looked far more impressive but good luck getting a seat on a saturday night. It was heaving which is why i had to move on to my second choice. Also walked past the george on the way outta town and that looked really impressive too.

Lass on campsite reception confirms the dog is renowned for good food. Next time i'm here i've got my food options mapped out.

Walked back to campsite through the dark scary wood with just a headtorch for company. Bricked it all the way. Not helped by the dog peering out of the barn at the bottom of the hill. I caught a pair of beady eyes in the torchlight and pretty much ran the rest of the way. All the way to the pub next to the campsite where i found refuge and safety in a pint of jennings cumberland.

Chap at pub does a roaring trade. Bit of a slight of hand ringing everything through the till as no sale though. It's not particularly cheap either. I guess it's seasonal trade so crack on while you can and good luck to him.
Caned it down with rain over night but all clear by morning. Fortunately the tent and tarp survived the storm.
Packup and and left this morning after a hearty breakfast of sausage sandwiches. Took the same roads back that i came over on. I'd planned to stop around windermere for food but was still rammed after breakfast so cracked on. Eventually stopped in skipton but there was nothing that took my fancy so i just popped some fuel in the bike and moved on.

I reckon that's the last of my proper 2010 trips but it's been a bumper year. Looking forward to more of the same next year, hopefully with catherine finally on her own two wheels.
