Keswick campsite on Derwent water
Рет қаралды 4,475
6 ай бұрынAgain, we find ourselves camping in the rain in our tiny VW campervan with our dog. We took our VW California to the Lake District to stay at the Camping and Caravanning club site in Keswick, on the shores of Derwentwater which commands one of the best views in the UK, as you can see a number of Wainwrights surrounding the water with the larger fells in the distance, including Scafell Pike, highest mountain in England.
The rain was fairly consistent so we put on our Goretex jackets and trousers, put Jack in his new Ruffwear waterproof coat and went for a hike around the lake, finished the day off in the pub for good measure.
Our final day was spent in Whinlatter forest. We attempted to cook our dinner bushcraft style but the firewood was soaking so a trusty old gas stove came to the rescue. As you'll see, the views of the snow capped mountains (Blencathra and Skiddaw) were breathtaking!

My wife and I are from New York, and have been in Scotland and England the past week for our honeymoon. Had to leave a comment because looks like we were in Keswick about the same time! We camped out in Wasdale that night, was beautiful despite the rain. Your videos inspired us to rent a California for the trip and we have been having the best time. Cheers!

That’s amazing! And Wasdale is a real gem, shame you got rain but, that’s England for you 😄 We absolutely love New York, haven’t been for 10 years but hopefully we’ll be back soon. Hope you enjoyed your trip over the pond 👍🏼

lol, our Duke did the exact same. Two lads fishing and he ran up to them and pinched there Sannies, the thing was they were still in thin sandwich bags and ate them whole. Straight down the gullet, next day he passed the bags which were empty. What a magic trick..

😂😂😂 quality! That’s what you call skill and character although, I bet they weren’t how you described him on the day!

Haha our aging dog Ruby loves following Jack on screen she can’t keep her eyes off him. Are you thinking of another meet up next Feb and if you are don’t pick the first weekend again as we are away on a reunion again, take care you 3, Barb and Robbo 👍👍

😄😄 he is a bit of a looker so can’t blame her. No plans to be honest but I think it’d be better to have a spring/summer one, ideally with a fire, outdoor cooking and drinks 🍺

Your story of Oscar reminded me of a story a waitress told me a couple of years ago. We were in a rather nice cafe, called Ginger and Co in Shrewsbury and the waitress was praising Raffy. I explained he wasn't always well behaved and she told me about a chap that went into the cafe a couple of days prior with his very old Lab. The poor old lab failed to show signs of any energy... until he saw the low counter that displayed all the cream cakes, donuts and pastries. At that point he leapt up with the energy of a six month old Springer and frantically chomped as many cakes as he could. What he missed with his mouth he swept to the floor with his thrashing front legs. All the while, his owner screamed out at him to stop. The waitress explained that the entire display ended up on the floor, which would have been 40 to 50 items!! Opps. Great vlog guys.

😄😄😄😄 Oscar was very similar. In his later stages he’d struggle to walk into a cafe, then slump on the floor like a starfish, waiting to pounce on the waitress as she walks past with a tray full of food!

When you said you had planned ".....to go up high....." at the start of the vlog my wife laughed as thought you'd said "......go for a pie! " 🤣 Hope the weather imprives for your next trip! Might need to try that site on a future trip sometime - look good especially for the dog!
@Professionalmoochers 6 ай бұрын
😄😄 someone else said the same! Going for a pie is certainly something you’d hear us say 🤪 It’s brilliant, often busy and not cheap but location makes it worthwhile.

Me and the Mrs where at the same site this weekend just gone, probably past eachother. I'm guessing by when the video went up after you left there was a flood warning in place we stayed another night then left. Amazing site and lovely in the winter. Nice and quiet 👌 May we pass paths again 😂👍

We really love your videos. You gave us an extra laugh on this one when you said "we were really hoping to get up high". I said to the Mrs, "I almost thought they said they were hoping to get a pie". She insists that what you did say and wondered which sort of pie you were going to get 😂😂😂. Really appreciate your efforts making these.

To be honest, we’d take a pie over getting up high 😄😄 Thanks a lot, appreciate you coming back to endure them 😉
