Brendehaug

101 km 🚗

Having done a 5 Mike walk in the morning - which is really not the same terrain profile as Daventry Country Park, (my regular walk at home). I was weary so a shorter but still visually dramatic day was called for 🏞️

Only 7km up the road was Bessenheim Lodge next to a 3hr walk up into the national park with a waterfall and lake to be seen 💦

It was perfectly overcast for me, having survived my coldest night down to 5 deg, I slept well in my coat and hat 🥶

With a welcome coffee from my German neighbours I set off to explore on foot this wonderful place ☕

It was boggy in places and windy, with threatening chords. and I met only 4 people during the whole time 🥾

Having found a truly marvellous piece of stone... I turned a corner and there was the lake. Plus a good lunch spot with a view 🥪

My legs knew about the clambering and my heart was full to experience such a place 💚

Once back at the car I figured out my next camping spot - a mix of using an app Park4Night, Google maps and 'oooh, I like that name ' 💃

Wonders will never cease after a failed attempt the night before I GOT MY WASHING DONE - including only a 30min use of the dryer 🥳🥳🥳Read more
