The Lake District's best camping pitch!
We took our VW California campervan to one of the best campsite pitches we've experienced, at Waterside House campsite on Ullswater in the English Lake District national park.
This is a working farm campsite on the waters edge so it's ideal for water sports. Taking this in to account, we stopped off at Decathlon to buy an Itiwit 3 inflatable kayak to take advantage of our perfect location.
Despite the strong winds, we managed to get out on the water and experience our first ever inflatable kayak jaunt! It certainly won't be our last.
The campsite has a stand up paddle board SUP shop where you can hire SUP's and hire a guide too, including all the gear needed. They have an onsite shop, take away restaurant/coffee shop and they also have a glamping area with pods, teepee's and bell tents.
Then there's numerous camping fields, with and without electric hook up, we opted for the lake side premium pitch number 3. It comes at a premium over other pitches but sometimes you just have to treat yourself.
We finished the journey off with a trip to Lowther castle, Alan has been to this estate for work in the past so we decided to check out the final effects of his work and have tea and cake while we were there. Of course, Sarah had to explore the ancient graveyard with its extravagant monuments and tombs which house some of the Lowther family.

Coast to Coast - Day 2 of 12 - Cleator to Rosthwaite
Coast to Coast - Day 2 of 12 - Cleator to Rosthwaite. The coast to coast is a 192-mile long-distance footpath in Northern England from St Bees on the West Coast to Robin Hood's Bay on the East Coast. The hike was devised by Alfred Wainwright and passes through the Lake District National Park, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.
Monday 23rd July Cleator to Gillercombe, Rosthwaite. Day 2
The Coast to Coast Trek - Click on the image to watch the video of day 2 of the hike. A great adventure
The official route goes over Dent hill, however checking the map, and realising we had a long way to walk today, we walked down the roads to Ennerdale instead of going over Dent. This was a very pleasant short cut, and we managed to put some miles under our belts early on. By the shores of Ennerdale Water we caught up with walkers who had stayed at Ennerdale Bridge. This is a beautiful area following the path along the southern shore of the Lake. The 'stone outcrop' mentioned in the guidebook was no problem.
By the time we reached the end of the lake, the rain began, and got worse throughout the day. So much for the 10 day forecast of perfect weather. The path continues uphill, through the forest passing High Gillerthwaite youth hostel. At various points paths lead off, and way markings are scarce.
Eventually we stopped for our picnic lunch at Black Sail youth hostel, meeting new friends whom we would meet at various places all the way to Robin Hoods Bay. Everyone was glad to shelter from the rain, the kitchen can be used to make tea and coffee. Toilets are free too. Be careful from here to Honister to ensure that you follow the correct path, it is very easy to get lost, especially when the cloud is down. There are a distinct lack of signs.
check out path past Black Sail.
The next stop after a long arduous path was the cafe at Honister Slate mines, a very welcome sight, especially in such bad weather. Gillercombe B and B, was the destination for today, just on the B5289 road on the outskirts of Rosthwaite. Rachel the owner requested that we take off our wet outer clothes in the porch, she very kindly tumble dried all our clothes.
booked directly with owner by phone
Dinner was at the Scafell Hotel, again huge portions, but half portions available.
Many walkers we met earlier were dining there too, which continued to be the pattern for the next 10 days.

Egremont Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Cumbria (although historically in Cumberland), and around 40 miles southwest of Carlisle, is the town of Egremont.
The known history of Egremont goes back to the 10th century when the Danes established a fort beside the River Ehen on the site of what later became Egremont Castle. In 1092 William II (a.k.a. William Rufus, son of William the Conqueror) took control of Cumberland which had previously been claimed by the Scots. A castle was built here, and later replaced in the 12th century with 13th century additions.
Egremont was granted a market charter in 1266 or 1267 (various sources give contradictory dates) during the reign of Henry III. It was in 1267 that the first Egremont Crab Fair took place, making it one of the oldest fairs in the world. The lord of Egremont started a tradition of giving away crab apples, from where it gets its name. Each annual fair consists of both modern and traditional events. One such notable event is the World Gurning Championships, where entrants put their head through a horse collar and compete to pull their best (or worst?) face!
In 1322 many were killed when the Scottish king Robert the Bruce sacked Egremont. The castle would eventually fall into ruin by the 16th century.
Early industries in Egremont included agriculture, weaving and dyeing. With the discovery of iron ore in the surrounding area, mining and quarrying became established industries in the town. By the 1830s there were several iron ore mining sites in the surrounding area.
In 1857 a railway station opened at Egremont. This was a branch of the Cumbrian Coast Line, connecting to Whitehaven, where iron ore was transported. Due to the gradual decline of the mining industry in the 20th century, the station closed to passengers in 1935. Between 1947 and 1965 it had reopened, but only for the use of workmen's trains. Today the main public transport connection is a bus route running between Egremont and Maryport via Whitehaven and Workington.
In 1974 the historical counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, along with the Furness Peninsula of Lancashire, merged to form the ceremonial county of Cumbria. Since then, Egremont has been part of the Borough of Copeland in Cumbria.
In 1982 rock band It Bites formed in Egremont. They are best known for their 1986 hit Calling All the Heroes.

Egremont Castle, Egremont, Cumbria, UK.
This is a neat little castle situated on a small hillock on the edge of Egremont town, famous for the 'Gurning Championships' at the local Crab Fair, dating from 1267. The castle was built in the mid 12th century by William de Meschines and has a fascinating history. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. Hope you enjoy, thanx for watching, JimC.

Walking the Dent Loop
A circular walk starting and ending at Dent railway station in the Yorkshire Dales. Long reaching views and Arten Viaduct.
Ennerdale Bridge, Cumberland.
Ennerdale Bridge is a small village on the winding road that leads from Cleator Moor to Ennerdale Water, and is a collection of largely modern dwellings spanning the River Ehen.
Ennerdale Water is the most westerly of the lakes, and the most remote, so it offers, even in high season, a place to escape. It is the only lake that does not have a road running alongside it.
The Ennerdale valley, around Ennerdale Lake, contains one of the largest forests in Cumbria, and has more than 20 miles of forest road, and many other paths open to the public.
Ennerdale Bridge village is only a short distance from the West Cumbria Cyclepath from Whitehaven to Rowrah, which continues along minor roads towards Ennerdale.
Wainwright‘s Coast to Coast Walk, starts at St Bees, and travels through Cleator before reaching Ennerdale Bridge, so the village with its two pubs and a village shop is a popular stopping off point on the route.
Return after lockdown:Dent and Uldale forest.11/06/20
Date 11/06/2020 .Good to get back out again with a quiet stroll up the local fell,Dent just outside Cleator Moor. More trees have been felled since my last visit, but still an enjoyable walk and more importantly good to socialise with Wukkie again doing stuff we enjoy. #Lakeland #fellwalking #Westernlakedistrict

Tuesday 31st July Ingleby to The Buck Inn, Chop Gate. Day 10
The Coast to Coast Trek - Click on the image to watch the video of day 10 of the hike. A great adventure
Past Arncliffe Hall the farmland comes to an end with the Cleveland Escarpment, a walk up this leads to the Cleveland Way, which we joined for the next 2 days. The path now undulates sticking to the top of the escarpment with tremendous views over countryside to Teesside in the distance.
We stopped at the cafe at Lordstones, it did seem strange to come into contact with day trippers and people in cars, after spending so long with walkers.
Again we had struggled to find a room for the night, due to a scarcity! The stage in the guidebook that we were following ended at Clay Bank Top, which is just a local name, with nothing there. Some of the local farms/pubs can collect from this point, driving you to and from their accommodation. However, once we are on a walk, our plan is not to take motorised transport. We had booked Chop Gate for the night, south of the Cleveland Way. We left the path just after Kirby Bank, heading past Beak Hills Farm, and Westcott Farm to The Buck Inn. This avoided walking down the main road from Clay Bank top, or phoning the landlord for a lift.
This being a relatively short day, we arrived at the pub before it opened, and waited on the benches outside- again maybe we could have checked this in advance, and had a slower walk. Dinner at the Buck Inn, they offer a packed lunch service, but we still had bread bought at the Petrol station on the A19, and the walkers' favourite - peanut butter.

Cobtree Country Park Once Maidstone Zoo
Let me take you through my family history around this former Zoo. In 1896, #Cobtree House was leased to Hugh William #TyrwhittDrake who later purchased the house and about 300 acres of surrounding land in 1904 and leased a further 174 acres. The estate at the time included 15 cottages, a sand quarry, a riverside wharf, the brick and tile works site, and sporting rights to 228 acres. The house was renamed Cobtree Manor House, probably as a reference to Dickens as Cobtree had never been a proper ‘manor’. Hugh William died in 1908 and the estate passed to his son Garrard. The park is best known locally as the site of the #MaidstoneZoo. This was Sir Garrard’s private collection of animals which was opened to the visiting public from Spring to Autumn each year between 1934 and 1959. The opening ceremony in 1934 was conducted by Bertram Mills, the famous circus proprietor. The annual opening days were great events involving the top celebrities of the day including Gracie Fields, Elsie and Doris Waters and Jessie Matthews. The 1939 programme lists thirty-six kinds of animal including bears, camel, cheetah, chimpanzee, deer, elephants, kangaroos, lions, llama, yak, zebra and wolves. There were also numerous types of birds, fish and reptiles. Apart from the exotic animals, there was a stud of cream ponies, one of only two in the country.
The zoo grew in size – a 1949 site plan shows about 120 cages and paddocks covering about 10 acres. The wolves and foxes were kept in the natural setting of the woodland and a Pets Corner with small animals was set up for children. There were elephant and pony rides available for a charge. A miniature railway with a petrol-powered ‘steam’ engine and two carriages ran on tracks along the carriage drive to take visitors the 500 yards from the main Maidstone to Rochester road to the zoo.
The old elephant house is to become a DIY workshop. The zoo remained open throughout the Second World War and in 1946, Princess Elizabeth visited. The zoo finally closed down in 1959 as a result of rising costs and Sir Garrard’s deteriorating health. Most of the animals were dispersed to other zoos and only the llamas and cream ponies remained at Cobtree for a few more years.

From the Irish Sea at St. Bees Head, the C2C path winds its way across Northern England, 190 miles or so, to the North Sea shoreline at Robin Hood's Bay. On the way it passes through three National Parks: The Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors.
I recently completed this challenge and during this time had the pleasure to capture the highlights that each of the National Parks had to offer.

Oakdene Forest Park
Set on the edge of the Hurn Forest, Oakdene Forest Park in Dorset makes a fantastic place to retreat with the whole family.
With a range of incredible facilities, such as swimming pools, entertainment and an indoor arcade, there's plenty to keep you busy on park. For those wanting to venture further afield and explore off-park, the sandy beaches of Bournemouth and rolling landscapes of the New Forest are just a stone's throw away. The woodland walks, directly accessible from the park, also make a fantastic place to explore and are a favourite with our four-legged guests.
Take a quick glimpse at what awaits you on a holiday here!

Whitehaven Walk: Town Centre & Harbour【4K】
Located on the west coast of Cumbria (although historically in Cumberland), and around 35 miles southwest of Carlisle, is the town of Whitehaven.
From around 1120 the Priory of St Bees owned the small fishing village of Whitehaven, up until the priory's closure in 1539 as part of Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. In 1630 the merchant Christopher Lowther purchased the monasterial estate and began to transform Whitehaven into a port town.
In 1634 the first quay was built, which was originally used for the export of salt and coal to Ireland. Christopher Lowther's son John acquired a market charter for Whitehaven in 1660. A phase of urban expansion began in the 1680s when the rectangular grid of streets that makes up the town today was first laid out.
By the beginning of the 18th century, Whitehaven was importing large quantities of tobacco from Virginia and Maryland in exchange for manufactured goods. To keep up with trade, a second quay was built. It is claimed that, by the mid 18th century, Whitehaven had the deepest coal mines in the world, and was the second busiest port of England by tonnage behind London.
In 1778 the last invasion of England occurred when Scottish-born U.S. navy commander John Paul Jones raided Whitehaven. He knew the town well since he had started his career as an apprentice here at the age of thirteen. During the raid, Jones began to set fire to the wooden ships in the harbour. A fire alert was sounded and large numbers of people came running to the quay where they forced the Americans to retreat, and managed to extinguish the flames.
In 1847 the railway arrived in Whitehaven. The station was opened by the Whitehaven Junction Railway as the terminus of their line from Maryport. Today it is situated on the Cumbrian Coast Line which runs from Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness.
The coming of the railways effectively brought about Whitehaven's decline as a port since its initial advantage was its proximity to the coalfields. Other ports such as Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow outgrew Whitehaven around the 19th century since they could, by this point, transport coal by rail. By the 1980s coal mining in Whitehaven had ceased entirely with the closure of the last mine - Haig colliery. Today the main industry in the town is the nearby Sellafield nuclear complex.
In 1974 the historical counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, along with the Furness Peninsula of Lancashire, merged to form the ceremonial county of Cumbria. Since then, Whitehaven has been part of the Borough of Copeland in Cumbria.
Whitehaven is represented in sport by rugby league team Whitehaven R.L.F.C. They play their home games at the Recreation Ground.

Wednesday 1st August Chop Gate to Arncliffe Arms, Glaisdale. Day 11
The Coast to Coast Trek - Click on the image to watch the video of day 11 of the hike. A great adventure
We set out heading north for a mile up the B1257, then turning right through Seave Green, and Billsdale Hall up the escarpment and re-joining the Cleveland Way (and C2C) at Round Hill.
We followed the disused railway line across the moor for 5 miles, which does make for easy walking. There is a spur off the path on the left, which leads directly to the Lion Inn. We missed this, continued walking down to the road junction, and walked back up the road to the pub. We called in at the pub for a drink; rooms and meals are available, there is an old-world charm, so pop in. Again given hindsight, we would have walked to here the day before instead of staying at The Buck Inn, as it is directly on the path.
We continued up the road for a few more miles, having our sandwiches overlooking the moors. Again fantastic views. Then struck out across the Moors.
Most disappointing when we arrived in Glaisdale was the village shop, which was closed as it was Wednesday. The penultimate night, spent in the bar of the Arncliffe Arms, swopping stories and adventures from our new group of friends. All have enjoyed it, not sure that they all would do it again however. Looking forward to seeing the North Sea tomorrow.
