Ullswater

If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Ullswater

Post by Muzorewa » Mon May 28, 2012 8:02 am

Some of you know that I’ve been out of the loop for a few weeks but I got the all-clear from the hospital the other day, so what better way to celebrate than go off camping!! :?

Image
Waterside House Campsite, by the side of Ullswater

Image
“Just camp where you want” she said at reception. No sooner said than done 8)

Image
In mild celebration, some quality fizzy :D

Image
Cheers, don’t mind if I do :wink:

Image
Waterside you say, yep, I reckon it is!! :lol:

Image
Better get some tea on before it goes dark

Image
Not a shabby view from our chosen pitch :wink:

Image
Hmm, a possible contender for breakfast :shock:

Image
8)

Image
Up at 4am :( and in the park by 5.30am

Image
A leisurely breakfast is in order I think :wink:

Image
It survived :roll:

Image
Back to the park :roll:

Image
8)

Image
Ok, a stroll to the next site up the road, and some trekking is in order!!

Image
This little critter wouldn’t stay still so this is the best I could do before it disappeared

Image
Happy :D

Image
Back to the campsite....

Image
....where there’s water, there’s Muzette :lol:

Image
....until the light fades

Image
¡perfectamondo! 8)

Image
After a day in the sun – Ouch!! :oops:

Image


Image
After a day in the sun - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Image
Early again – where there’s water.....

Image
....never too hot :wink:

Ok. So, the direct way home? – Erm, I don’t think so. Seeing as it’s a nice day, how about making sure that transmission and cooling system are still working properly :twisted:

Might have to pay that site a visit. Great pics, I was up Wrynose and Hardknott on my bike last month, I'd forgot how nice it was. Bit hard on the wrists on a sportsbike though.

There were plenty attempting the Hardknott last weekend. And there's a cool YouTube video of some nutter doing 77mph down the Kirkstone pass towards Patterdale :lol:

"cycling" don't think so, motorbike is what I am talking about. I nearly flake oot just thinking about peddling up there. I cycled about a mile last week with the little one on the back last week and nearly had a heart attack.
