Just checking the beach

We arrived quite late at the hotel, so we didn’t really see where we were. Today we started with a short walk on the beach.
Not your average tourist trap (1)

As we basically drove past it, we thought we’d make a stop at the Red Bull Racing Factory and look at the trophy’s. 352 trophy’s according to Else.

Just another F1 factory. We didn’t bother to ask if we could go inside at this one.

And we conclude our unlikely tourist attraction tour with a visit to the Diddly Squat Farm Shop.
We bought some Jeremy’s sausages for the barbecue later that day.
It was amazingly busy there andRead more

Shropshire hills are just stunning

Today we had an amazing walk in the Shropshire Hills. Perfect company, amazing weather, brilliant landscape.
What a perfect day.
Ludlow Castle

Just enjoying the last day of decent weather if the forecast is correct.
Lake District for today
July 30, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
The forecast was quite horrible, but I haven’t seen a lot of rain yet… there’s other wet stuff though.
Windermere Ferry
July 31, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
The guy on the Ferry said: “Welcome to the Lake District”. I said: “It wouldn’t be the real experience if it was sunny, would it?”. A quick “No” was his reply.
Beautiful roads
July 31, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
Fairy tale like landscapes and beautiful roads.
Mythical roads and streams
July 31, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
Even though it is not perfect hiking weather it is still a nice area to drive through.
Moffat hike
August 1, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Hiking with locals on trails unknown to tourists.
I won’t tell where, but it was really nice!
Absolute highlight so far
August 1, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Riding a flamingo in the streaming rain.
Something other than hiking
August 2, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
Tidal hike

Just as the tide had gone ou we could walk where I paddled the kajak earlier.
Morning hike in the sun
August 3, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Warm and sunny Scotland. A nice surprise.
Ending the day in style

Hike around Gatehouse
August 4, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
We took a “little extra loop” and ended up walking 14,5 km. Not everyone did the whole distance. #blistered feet
Very proud of the kids (and Mirjam of course)
Today something did

Great collaboration
August 5, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
I think it makes perfect sense that these two companies share a building.
Anybody wanna guess where we are?

Sunny coastal walk with views
August 6, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Perfectly clear skies with views as far as the Lake District and Isle of Man. We saw rain all around us, but walked in the sunshine all the way.
Transfer day
August 7, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
From the Scottish South Coast to Yorkshire Dales.
Back to England, but not without a last stop to the first house in Scotland (or last for where we came from, I guess) and a Scottish breakfast.
