And we’re in 2015 already…<\/p>\n

We couldn’t do our usual week of camping at the beginning of May due to other commitments,\u00a0but we still went\u00a0for weekends out.<\/p>\n

First trip was a weekend in Seathwaite – a lovely village in the Western Lake District. Depending on where you’re coming from, the drive to Seathwaite is interesting to say the least! For us , a 2 hours journey and the last 45 minutes of it is on a narrow windy road with passing places. You’re glad you’re in a big camper, have better visibility and smaller cars think twice when trying to push through!<\/p>\n

Not that easy for hubby though when you have a whining dog in the back…. no, Harley still doesn’t like the drive in the van, still whines every time you indicate, or stop or slow down a little, or try and reverse!<\/p>\n

We stayed at the Turner Hall Farm <\/a>– a really nice laid back campsite, friendly owners and amazing scenery and views. We had a nice big pitch just to ourselves so Harley could run around like a mad dog that he is!<\/p>\n

Then of course we went for walkies… the walk by the river is very close to the campsite, and it’s really nice. Of course, weather depending, it can be a nice dry walk and when we went in 2015 the forest was full of bluebells, it was so nice!<\/p>\n

Harley was very brave and walked over stepping stones too!<\/p>\n

and over the little stone bridge, it looks like something from Lord of the Rings, it really is so rustic and proper woodland!<\/p>\n

Harley loves water although he is not always keen on swimming. But if there is a river or waterfalls (a lot of waterfalls here) then he needs to have a closer look, much to my worry!<\/p>\n

Then of course we had a nice meal and a pint at the Newfield Inn pub in Seathwaite<\/a>, very close to the campsite. The food was delicious and actually quite posh, although the pub itself doesn’t look posh, but it was really look so we didn’t mean posh :-). They also have a nice selection of local (or not so local) ales.<\/p>\n

And of course, it wouldn’t be a weekend in the Lakes without getting wet, so here we go \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

But we had a lovely time and will definitely go again – actually we did, in 2016 again (back to present times \ud83d\ude42 ) but I have no photos from our recent trip, so these will be the only ones for now. The pub was still good though, very yummy food and beer.<\/p>\n
