Just returned after nine fantastic days. Of course the weather lovely and such a bonus with only rainy day. We had a ride that day to Carlisle which was a first and well worth a visit. There were only service pitches left and we found it so convenient and even had a small paved terrace for the bbq. Sun arrived at 7am and didn't leave out pitch until 8pm. Sight is so easy to reach and midway between Keswick and Penrith. Such fabulous walking round here with beautiful scenery. Round of Buttermere or Loweswater, Derewentwater shore and so many more. All the roads are well kept although parking can be expensive with National Trust. So many activities in the area for all ages and it was so nice to see families heading of to one of the many lakes with canoes or boats. This was our third visit over the last few years and easily our most enjoyable as good weather here makes such a difference. Midges did bite late evening but otherwise ok. Showers etc. a bit dated but very clean with spacious shower cubicles and nice hot water. We will be returning.
