Back in to England

I felt a bit rough overnight, funny tummy but thankful we have a radar key and could help myself to the disabled toilets. All good by the morning though. Went for a local brekkie then drove south out of Scotland some 1600 miles later.

Disappointed that we hadn’t seen much wildlife in Scotland, we went to Lake District Wildlife Park at the north of the area. Quite a small park but the weather was lovely and barely anyone there. Saw a few random animals and birds but sadly the otters were unavailable. The highlight was a birds of prey display with a rather beautiful vulture called Gonzo. My new favourite animal since our last display in Ireland. He flew around our heads and at one point, his wing slapped my cheek - it was so cool! The lady did the same with an owl , which caught dad, and a falcon that was no bother. This made up for the lack of heiland coos, dolphins, seals, red squirrels, puffins, otters, eagles that I didn’t see.

Traveled on through the equally as beautiful scenery in the Lakes as in the highlands, past Windermere on to Morecombe for the night. Lakes were too busy to stop at what with it being the start of a bank holiday weekend and sunny. We came here last year so no surprises but nice to be by the sea again. At the moment, campers are very welcome along the promenade though it’s very busy at night with cars thundering past so we opted for a car park slightly off that stretch. Bit more peaceful. Still only a couple of quid over night.

Went for a lovely Chinese, picked up some supplies from Aldi then had a wonder down the beach and pier to watch the sunset again. That will never get boring.Meer informatie
