The Trip That Beat Us Ep 10-A walk in the van

Carol’s shoulder is still hurting as we wake up in a very cold Whitehaven in Cumbria. The first thing on our minds is to find a warm place for breakfast and the Taste cafe doesn’t disappoint.
Leaving the coast we head up to Blakeley Raise Stone Circle and just about manage a drone flight in the strong wind.
We park up at Ennerdale Water for a walk to the lake, nothing too adventurous on such a cold day! We come to the conclusion that it is a day for driving and not walking so decide to take a “walk in the van” through Loweswater to Crummock Water and Buttermere then over the scenic Honister Pass.

Oh yes, this video took me back, many years ago I stayed at the youth hostel up the valley past Ennerdale Water and I spent the day walking around its shore line, it was a really hot day, a bit different now. Thanks guys, you brought back great memories. Here's a fact for you, I expect you know. How many lakes are there in the Lake District?🤔 Only 2, all the other's are waters.😀

brrr you were both brave to take little walks. I hope your shoulder gets better , you must of pulled a muscle, that can be very painful. Maybe you should visit Dr, to make sure. beautiful scenery as always. wouldn't it be better at home in a nice warm bed and the comfort of home. I find the lavender heat wraps that u put in microwave helps with pain. you both need those jackets where where u press a button and they will keep you very warm I use to see them idealworld the shopping channel. take ❤

Thank you for your suggestions Moira. I did try heat pads on my shoulder when I got home and they helped a lot. The pain finally went after about eight weeks. Those heated jackets would be very useful 😀👍

Well that was a nice surprise, wasn't expecting another video this week. 🙂 You've taught us something too. lived here 8 years now and didn't know about that stone circle, We'll have to check it out. Thought you were going to park where we did at Loweswater for a minute. Prince Charles spends a lot of time staying at Yew Tree farm when he visits the lakes. Even turned on our Christmas lights in Keswick after the floods in 2009, don't think Julia Bradbury who'd been booked to do it was best pleased at being upstaged lol. Love the idea of a walk in the van. I'm with Carol if it's cold. Really curious to find out where you managed to park, anywhere near Keswick. Do have one in place in mind, but guess we'll have to wait and see..AGAIN 😄🐕🚙

Question for you, when you’re parked up like that and getting your evening meal, how come you don’t pop up the roof so Charlie doesn’t have to walk around all bent up, 😊 I an feel for you Charlie with that shoulder, I’ve been battling one for several years and it does take some of the joy out of the day at times. Love your videos. Cheers Judy from Australia

I wonder if the name of that car park goes back to a former use of the sìte in the laundering or processing of cloth. Spreading out cloth on grass or other greènery (rosemary bushes were often used) in sun & moonlight is an old way of helping to bleach it using oxygen.

Always sound the horn if you are unsure. The farmer will not be the one in the head on collision. When its late and quiet pull your windows down and listen as an alternative but use a quick toot if in any doubt and drive slow 👍
