Lakes District
Had a big sleep. Was going to do a short walk but when we were about to start the rain came pouring in. Arun and I decided to stay at the hostel while Pete went around Rydal and Grasmere. (Although called the Lakes District, the area only has one "lake" — Brassenthwaite.) We had pumpkin soup and a sandwich for lunch when the weather improved.

Sheep and Coo's (cow's) everywhere. What a quick visit, stayed about 3 hours chatting and catching up. Unfortunately Cousin Ryan was not able to come to the house. Off we set to find a sleepover spot for the night. Find one just outside of Carlise called the Dandy Dinmont, right in a ...
