We left Manchester after 3pm with a full tank, instructions left with Steve for the cat and the map on my knee. Our first destination was north of the Lake District on the Cumbrian coast. The idyllic views of the countryside were welcome after the hecticness and aggression of motorway driving. Our fears of big hills were quashed when Fritz showed he was more than capable of tackling the longest and steepest hills (albeit slowly and grudgingly!)
Our campsite for the night was in St.Bees. With the sun close to setting we arrived and set up Fritz for the night!
Below some pics..
The site was more or less on the beach and we had terrific views. The site was mostly static motorhomes & caravans.
Friday 25th April:
We crossed the country the next day using A roads instead of the motorways.
Our target was Hadrian's Wall at Haltwhistle. We set up camp in a site very close to the wall..with a duck & pond for a neighbour!
We did some walking along the wall
and eventually found the pub!
