Neda comes out of the office with a big smile and a thumbs up. Yay, we have somewhere to sleep tonight!
The farm where we are staying. Sheep are our neighbours
Lots of holidayers too
The campground is crowded! Our tires squish the wet grass as we ride around looking for a clear spot to set up camp. The sun is peeking out from behind rain clouds, which gives us a window of dry weather to pitch our tent. Kids everywhere emerge from campers and tents to savour every last bit of dry weather before they have to go back to school next week. This is the way vacationing is done in the UK!
I know this small window of dry weather will be short, so as soon as we get the tent up, we walk into the tiny hamlet of Coniston to find a warm and dry place to sit down, grab a cold pint of some local Cumbrian ale and some Internet. At least the weather looks good tomorrow.
And it is! We head out into the sunshine of the Lake District the next morning.
