Post Nº100: A trip to the lakes

We took the opportunity of a free weekend to make the most of this Autumn's colours with a trip into the Lake District. The National Park is only 90 minutes from Skipton along busy but steady A-roads and pretty quickly we're treated to quite a spectacle of colour.

It was great to see plenty of other T5s knocking around and being put to use for various weekend activities; mountainbiking, walking and kayaking.

The route was a bit of an 'out and back' affair; driving through Windermere and Ambleside before our first stop at Keswick. A bite to eat and a mooch around town, we also went to check out the two Camping & Caravanning Club sites; The Oval and Keswick, the latter being closed due to flooding. Needless to say we'll be back next year for a couple of nights.

Then down to Ambleside down the spectacular road past Thirlmere and Grasmere - the Lakes scenery could have given New England a run for it's money on a day like today. A quick walk around town and a lust over a few bikes in Biketreks before our final stop at Windermere and Bowness just in time for a quick coffee before heading home.

As the title of this post says, this is number 100 - a small milestone in the van's history and ongoing transformation. Thanks for reading and sticking with it this far.
