In December 2023, Winston (my dog) and I spent a week in Braithwaite in the north of the Lake District, UK.
Our adventure included a night of weather warnings, a bright red sunrise, an exploration of an old mine, and a fabulous hike with amazing views.
I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching.

14:54 You don't have to keep butter in the fridge. It will last longer in the fridge, but at the rate any normal person would use butter, it's not an issue. Salted butter will take several weeks to go sour out of the fridge, just keep it out of direct sunlight, and below about 20C. Also if you heat 2 slices of bread in the microwave for 10s, they come out slightly warm, and then hard butter will soften more as you spread. Putting slightly dry bread in the microwave for 10s also freshens it up, for some reason. But I do remember you saying you didn't have a microwave in the pod. I've nearly finished watching all your videos :(

I was thinking of buying a Go Pod but was put of by the price also at six foot one standing up would be difficult plus with my vehicle it would be like an elephant towing a mouse. Your comment about aqua planing yes the condition of your tyres is one factor but another is people don't drive for the conditions excessive speed is a major cause keep your speed down, if you do start to slide steer into it keep off the brakes (don't rush anything) and stay calm things I was taught when learning to drive.
@Roz.S 6 ай бұрын
Thanks for the tips! Yes, Go-Pods ate not cheap; the carry a premium due to their size, but there are other caravans out there that will give you more for your money. My problem is that my van is only small and has a small towing capacity, so wouldn't be able to tow the bigger caravans. And I love my little van, so not ready to change her yet. Hence, I ended up with a Go Pod. Thanks for watching and commenting.

2 ways I would suggest for your butter. 1. peel it off with a potato peeler and spread it that way or 2. I see you have an electric jug (kettle), cut off as much butter as you need and put it in a small plastic container and sit it on top of your jug while you set it to boil. It should soften your butter enough to spread it :)

I don't know why, but the site of that butter has made me laugh so much, I choked on my sleepy tea! I have a couple of single burner gas heaters, like two, single bar gas fires. The problem is that you do need a certain amount of air circulation, a window ajar or the door the same. It seems self defeating. But they dry out the air and sometimes the reason we feel colder is beacuse of the moisture in the air. They take a single small can of gas, they're about £1 - £2. each. On a lower setting they last a coupe of hours each. In a pod that size, i'd imagine they would warm it up in no time, if the electricity was ever a problem.

Loved your piece about the mine, interesting since I worked in two mines in the 1980s; one, the "Black Angel Mine" in NW Greenland, was a lead/zinc mine. Most likely, there is more ore in the ground, but with such a small mine, it cannot be economically viable. I guess they had a small tramway, now gone, from the mine, and then the big rusty shute is the crusher, making the ore block smaller. Likely there were some rails from the crusher over the tressels to the treatment plant (a grinder, I guess), making a powder of ore then shipped elsewhere for separation. A really fun "report" of an old mining site, thanks

Look at every day is the first day and look forward to the next as the adventure waiting for you. The places you mention are where I've been myself... Did Catbells, Scafell and Helvelyn and a few more. Snow up to my 14 yr old knees... Some time ago but enjoyed every moment. Braithwaite had a youth hostel at the time. 🙂. Love the Pod..

Thank you. I have tried to do Scafell twice, but both time failed. Things just happened (like a trip to A&E) which meant that plans got changed. I've still got it on my list to do. Thanks for watching and commenting.

When the butter is still a little unco-operative, I’ve never travelled anywhere with female company that didn’t include a packed hairdryer 🤷♂️ A few seconds of blow drying brings it back into line. Otherwise, yes, a butter dish on a shelf out of doggo reach does the heavy lifting.
@Roz.S 7 ай бұрын
I don't take a hairdryer ...I take a hat 😅 Mainly because I don't think that campsite electricity is powerful enough to run a hairdryer. There are hairdryers in the shower rooms, but I'm not running to showers every time I want a bit of butter 😂 A butter dish it is then! 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi! Yes. You can keep the butter out without worry, for you trip. On very hot days in the summer, it'll go rancid if left out for days on end, but winter is fine.

Hi Rox, enjoy your videos. For the butter, put hot water in a glass jug to heat it up, butter on a plate and put the jug upside down over the butter for a couple of minutes and you have soft butter.

Very enjoyable watch. I liked the way you told the absolute unvarnished truth, with rainwater dripping down your chin, that the weather was completely atrocious! I wouldn’t have blamed you for drying off first. Having seen what happened at Cwm Rhaeadr I anticipated some kind of mishap as soon as I saw you approach the stream, only this time it was Winston! Very pleased the weather improved for you and looking forward to seeing what happens in part 2.😊
@Roz.S 7 ай бұрын
I thought that if I had dried myself off first, no one would have believed how bad the rain actually was and it was too dark outside to film it. 😅 If I had fallen in the stream, it wouldn't have been the first time. I don't tend to have much luck with water 😅 Thanks for watching and commenting.

Great vlog. Regarding butter, all my life we’ve had block butter, doesn’t need to be in fridge, mines kept in the cupboard, in winter months I leave it on worktop as sun gets in and softens it a bit, cooler months it’s a lot firmer, for a bit to use, scrape it up on knife and spread it over the block then scrape it up again and repeat, that then softens that bit, spread it on bread and repeat until covered. Sounds painful but not to bad, better than margarine!

Hi Roseanne. I've just found your channel and subscribed as I'm a fellow Go-Pod owner. My wife and I stayed at that beautiful site last June. I wanted to do Wainwright's route up Skiddaw before I was 70 next year and made it, albeit a struggle. We canoed on Derwentwater, which was great. Like you, we walked Barrow fell ( I was a lot more out of breath than you! ). If we are staying more than one night, I always put the air awning up, which gives us lots of extra space, although in the winds that you encountered, that wouldn't have been possible. I've found that a couple of lightweight axle stands under the front of the chassis stops all of the rocking in windy weather. I look forward to following your vlogs. Stay safe.😊

Hello fellow podder 👋 I have given up on awnings for the pod now as none of them fit properly and i don't like loose flappy tents. The axel stands are a great though, so thank you very much. 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for a great video.We picked up our second hand GoPod in Scotland the same wet weekend and camped for 2 nights.. It was quite a trial finding out how to operate everything in those conditions but we survived. We didn’t notice that the pop up material was wet but thanks for alerting us to this potential problem. Maybe I’ll investigate getting a roll of Goretex to wrap round the outside.Like you, we found it difficult drying jackets and shoes and I can see how some type of extension would be useful just to put wet clothes in.

The first time I took my Go Pod out, I did not like it at all! In fact, I emailed two caravan dealers while on that trip, asking how much they would give me for it 😅 So, I can imagine how difficult it was for you having 2 wets nights in it as your first experience. However, after learning how things worked and getting used to the small space, I now really like my pod 😇 Thanks for much for watching and commenting.
