Camping! in the Lake District

Hello!

We've not long got back from a lovely short break in the Lake District :) We hired a car, a ridiculous little thing called a Chevy Spark, and drove the 5 hours North to Duddon Valley picking up Little Chicken on the way. It really was beautiful!

We pitched our tent (an adventure in itself) and went hiking along the river and up into the fells. 

We highly recommend the Turner Hall Farm  camp site :)

The tent beast!

A cool monster tree :)

Barbecuing in the dark!

Little Chicken checking out her conquered mountain :)

Gorgeous!

This sheep had a red mohawk!

I wish I could stay here forever :)

Little Chicken is all tired out.

On the early drive home.

I'm very sad to have had to come home and can't wait to plan our next little trip!

Hello again :)

I took a trip back to the Lake District to see my family and I spent as much time as I possibly could in the countryside! You don't realise how gross the air is in London until you manage to get out and take a deep breath of fresh air into your lungs. It feels fantastic! So naturally, I made the most of it ;) I just wish I had appreciated it more while I lived there growing up. Oh well, better late than never...

Here are a few pics I shot via the magic of Instagram.

Meet our family dog :) Little Chicken is her name and she is amazing!
I can't wait to take her camping in a few weeks.

This sheep started clawing the rail as we arrived.
Little Chicken wasn't too impressed with that!

A not-so-friendly bear greeted us at the start of our walk. Stern but cool.
