      Lake District - 70km

      21 Mei, Inggris ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Nous partons sous un ciel un peu gris, mais pas trop menaçant, pour une « balade » de 70km, 1500m de dénivelé et 3 cols (dont 1 que nous ferons 2 fois, on aime bien la difficulté !).
      Nous débutons la journée en longeant Elterwater, un beau petit court d’eau, traversons Little Langdale, une vallée très verte et entamons la grimpette avec la première montée de Wrynose Pass qui culmine à 393m avec seulement 3,3km de montée, ça grimpe dur… Une jolie rivière accompagne la montée avec de petites cascades par endroit ainsi que nos éternels amis les moutons, eux sont bien toujours là avec leurs lots d’agneaux. Puis on enchaîne rapidement avec le Hardknott Pass : on ne le savait pas à ce moment-là mais c’est la montée la plus pentue d’Angleterre avec un passage à 30%, un autre à 25%, une moyenne totale de 14% et… nous avons réussi à rester sur les vélos jusqu’en haut ! Apparemment ce col est un des must du cyclisme sur route en Angleterre, un peu comme le Galibier en France.
      Les descentes font plaisir, presque autant que les montées.
      Après un déjeuner bien mérité, nous faisons une boucle dans la vallée de Duddon, passons devant la petite gare de Dalegarth et apercevons un vieux train qui fonctionne encore en tant qu’attraction touristique et permet de traverser la vallée.
      Ensuite, nous montons sur un plateau pour aller admirer le Tarn Devoke, enfin de l’eau dans cette région des lacs !
      Pour finir la journée, nous reprenons la route, repassons par le Wrynose Pass et descendons à Ambleside pour quelques courses avant de retourner au camping, éreintés par cette journée.      Baca selengkapnya

      Reflection on the Coast to Coast

      20 Mei, Inggris ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      I just wanted to finish the C2C part of the blog with some personal reflections on the trip. I had a great time and the trip certainly lived up to and even past my expectations.

      I was extremely fortunate from a weather perspective. One day of rain during a 15 day trip is really quite remarkable. This spring in the UK has up until now been incredibly rainy. May and June however are the driest months which I took into consideration when planning the trip. The one day I hiked in the rain I really enjoyed it. It was the consequence of the rain and the wet boots and the blisters the next day that were the downside of the rain. It would definitely have been a much more difficult trip had it rained. My walk of the C2C would have been much different than someone's trip in April.

      The majority of my trip planning worked out very well. Doing my own bookings of accomodations and hiring the luggage moving service took more work but then it also engaged me more in the adventure. Some people's hobbies are fixing cars. Mine is holiday planning. Organizing my own trip also saved me a little money. I mainly booked accommodations through the Internet because I was fearful that the cost of calling the UK was prohibitive. I eventually had to call the UK and Telus only charged me 7 cents per minute. I think B and Bs give better, nicer and cheaper accommodations than some of the taverns or inns I stayed at. That said I would still try hard to stay on the route as I met some hikers who stayed at B and Bs off route and had some transportation issues.

      One thing I was reminded of on the trip was to take my time and enjoy myself. I met an elderly American couple with their 2 friends having a nap on the trail lying on yoga mats withe their shoes and socks off. It was after Orton. They told me that they did this every day after lunch. They were doing the trip over 21 days and taking their time. Why rush they told me. It was an experience not a race. I found myself repeating this mantra for the rest of the trip and on the nice days after lunch I would take my shoes and socks off and read my book and enjoy the ambiance of being outside. I the rain day I don't think I did this.

      The comraderie on the trip was great. Some people I got to know better than others if our trips coincided and some people I would only meet and chat with once. Everyone was so happy and friendly to chat and share their experiences. It was great to meet Dawn, the Acock brothers, the Coloradians -Debbie and Ginnie, Lisa and Annie, Dexter the dog and owners, Nick from Brighton, the Australians from Perth and many more people who I connected with on the trip.

      Some of the highlights of the trip were the church in St Bees and the story of the 14 century knight, the lake district, hiking the crags, Wordsworth's house and grave in Grasmere, the stone circles, the churches Shap abbey, the lambs playing together in the fields, the day of being sniffed by the animals, overcoming my fears, seeing the North Sea and finishing at Robin Hood Bay. It was all good.      Baca selengkapnya

      Ambleside > Glenridding - 70km

      22 Mei, Inggris ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      Cela pourrait être une petite journée tranquille mais bon, autant ne pas faire au plus simple, surtout quand il pleut ! Voici le résumé de la journée qui arrive.

      En effet, sur le papier, seulement une vingtaine de kilomètres séparent le point de départ du point d'arrivée, une auberge de jeunesse proche du lac de Ullswater.
      Mais on décide tout d'abord de passer par Cathedral Cave, une ancienne carrière, avec une chambre de 12 mètres de haut, possédant des ouvertures sur l'extérieur, rendant le tout assez impressionnant.
      Le temps de faire le tour, la pluie rejoint la partie : elle ne nous quittera pas de la journée !
      Nous faisons tout de même une pause proche du lac Grasmere, pour réfléchir à la suite de la journée. Après une hésitation sur le fait de raccourcir la trace, nous voilà tout de même partis en direction de Keswick, en longeant tout d'abord le magnifique lac Thilrmere, via une route où nous sommes seuls, ça rattrape un peu la situation !
      Nous arrivons donc à Keswick, petite ville touristique au nord du lac de Derwentwater. Malgré les nombreux visiteurs, nous apprécions faire un petit tour dans la ville, et nous trouvons difficilement une place dans une pizzeria. Il nous faut bien un bon repas avant ce que l'après-midi nous réserve !

      En effet, il est prévu de passer par la Old Coach Road, un chemin caillouteux parcourant les flancs de Clough Head et de Matterdale Common, à l'extrémité nord de la chaîne Helvellyn. On se retrouve finalement assez rapidement à pied à côté des vélos, à pousser notre fardeau sous la pluie et le vent. Les paysages somptueux et vides de toute activité humaine, à part nous, nous réconfortent les yeux et nous aident à oublier tous nos problèmes.
      Nous progressons doucement vers l'auberge de jeunesse : un dernier défi nous attend pour l'atteindre. Ce n'est pas celui de faire les courses, que nous faisons dans une petite supérette, en l'inondant à moitié au passage avec nos tenues trempées, mais c'est plutôt d'emprunter le chemin de l'auberge : il s'agit encore d'un chemin caillouteux, en montée, vent de face, chargés avec nos courses du soir...

      Heureusement, une "drying room" (salle de séchage pour les non-anglophones) nous attend là-bas, permettant de faire sécher toutes nos affaires ! À chaque jour suffit sa peine, un bon gros repas préparé par Bastien dans la cuisine commune, et nous nous reposons pour la suite de la semaine...      Baca selengkapnya

      Queen of the South

      7 Mei, Skotlandia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Our flight arrived in Manchester later than expected, then we had delays collecting our hire car (but we did get an upgrade!), so we didn't set off north until nearly midday.

      Traffic was heavy on the motorway, until we reached the rolling hills between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, then and onto Gretna Green, just over the border.

      After a visit to the famous Blacksmiths Shop, where runaway couples from England have wed since 1754, we headed towards Dumfries for the night.

      Dumfries is nicknamed Queen of the South, which is also the name of their soccer team in the Scottish leagues. It was the birthplace and childhood home of JM Barrie (author of Peter Pan), resting place of Robbie Burns, Scotland's National Poet, and, less famously, home of Alex Graham, creator of the Fred Basset cartoon.

      We walked through the historical centre, along the River Nith and had dinner at a local pub , before walking back to our hotel to watch the Eurovision song contest semi final.      Baca selengkapnya

      Todmorden > Lancaster - 90km

      19 Mei, Inggris ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      À nouveau un départ avec le soleil, nous avons de la chance avec le temps mais vous verrez, ça ne va pas durer.
      Nous quittons la jolie petite ville de Todmorden et commençons à prendre de la hauteur, la région est montagneuse et ça grimpe pas mal.
      Puis direction la côte, où nous avons prévu d’arriver à Lancaster avant la fermeture du château (dernière visite guidée à 15h45).
      À noter que les anglais ont l’air d’adorer les voitures : anciennes ou récentes et les sortent le week-end. Encore plus quand il fait beau.
      Nous traversons la petite ville de Whalley et rentrons dans la forêt de Bowland. Les paysages sont tout d’abord très verts puis plutôt arides (notre hôte nous a dit que les arbres avaient été coupés il y a plusieurs centaines d’années). Nous suivons donc la vallée et sa rivière avant de passer un col pour rejoindre Lancaster.
      Ouf, nous arrivons pour la dernière visite guidée. Nous apprenons pas mal de choses intéressantes sur le château, en effet, il n’est plus la demeure de riches habitants (voire ne l’a presque jamais été) mais sert de tribunal et de prison ! Nous visitons les anciens cachots, mais également la prison datant de la première moitié du XXe siècle, et la plus récente (plus en activité, je vous rassure). Les salles d’audience sont également impressionnantes, remplies de blason des différentes maisons anglaises et de bois sculpté.
      Enfin, nous reprenons les vélos et passons par la petite cité balnéaire de Morecambe où nous avons une belle vue sur la mer et les montagnes de Lake District, région que nous rejoindrons demain.
      Ce soir, nous dormirons dans un camping. Le temps de monter la tente et un orage montre le bout de son nez. Nous l’évitons cette fois-ci en allant à la douche pile au bon moment !      Baca selengkapnya

      Walkabout Wednesday

      13 September 2023, Inggris ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      We had a nice low-key day today. We enjoyed a relaxing breakfast onboard and spent some time tidying up the boat. We walked into Lancaster to find a bank to switch our 50-pound notes. We tried to spend them in shops and pubs but no one wanted them. The first two banks were lined up, so we tried what appeared to be a credit union. They said no if we weren't customers. We found a Lloyds Bank, and they turned us down, too. They suggested we try a Post Office. The first person we spoke to at the Post Office suggested we take them to the Bank of England, seriously? Randy explained our challenge to a lovely young lady who initially apologized and said she couldn't help us but then said she would change all our 50s into 10s and 20s. We were so grateful. A word of caution don't bring 50 pound notes if you come to England. Actually, everywhere we've been tap has been the preferred payment method. Once we had our cash under control, we visited the Lancaster Priory and the Lancaster Castle. Both were definitely worth seeing. The area surrounding them was also very beautiful. We stopped for a late lunch in a little cafe and picked up some supplies at Aldi. It was a beautiful day today, and we really enjoyed our short southbound trip. Initially, we planned on stopping in a heavily wooded area, but we decided we wanted to enjoy the sunshine. We found a really nice secluded spot, no pub for us today. We had our chairs at the front of the boat to enjoy the sunshine and seclusion, but then a friendly dog came for a visit with his owner. Many people walk their dogs along the tow path. We had a nice chat about the history of the canal. As he continued his walk, another canal boat pulled up behind us to park for the night. We've met them a couple of times and it was nice to have a happy hour with them. They owned their own narrowboat previously and were now occasionally renting. They shared so much information on other canals. We had a nice dinner on board and played a few card games.Baca selengkapnya

      Royal respite

      7 Desember 2023, Inggris ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      I believe today marked the start of some very boring updates, dear readers!

      We awoke in our castle, enjoyed some tea and some freshly baked bread which was dropped off by our lovely bnb host, drank some more tea before heading out for a walk to see our castle grounds and the adjourning small town of Hornby.

      Our accommodation is buildings attached to the main keep of the castle - so we aren't staying in a castle per se, but it's close enough.

      After doing 2 laps of the 'quaint' (tiny) town we decided we needed to find a walking path if we even wanted to consider hitting our 10k step goal, so we found a public path that took us through some private farms before turning around and getting absolutely drenched in the rain.

      We made our way back after hitting the step goal and enjoyed watching Shaun of the Dean before finishing off the charcuterie leftovers from yesterday.

      Roman around the countryside

      6 Desember 2023, Inggris ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

      This morning we said goodbye to our Newcastle accommodation and headed east towards the great northern wall, none other than Hadrian's Wall! We picked around the middle of the wall as there was a Roman fort and museum there, but once we got there we found out that it was closed... It was very sad to see.

      Fortunately for us, today was the first day of blue skies and sun in England that we've had in a while, so we decided to walk part of the wall. It was a toasty 4°C and the sun was shining brightly and there wasn't a breeze. We walked past Roman ruins, sheep, frozen mud and puddles for about 45 minutes until we decided to turn around and start heading back. It was very peaceful, and a lovely way of getting our daily steps in. Thanks Emperor Hadrian for such a lovely wall, I'm sure that it was effective at keeping the Picts out!

      After making our way back to the car, we drove to a nearby town to grab a coffee and a scone, then bought some supplies for the evening and got back on our way to head to our accommodation.

      The road had us go between the Lake District and North Pennines nature preserve, which was a beautiful drive. The hills and mountains loomed in the distance, and the tops were all still covered in snow. We're hoping we get a chance to come back up and explore some of the area before we head too far south!

      Eventually we made it to the town near our accommodation and stopped briefly at the Lidl to grab some more groceries before heading to our dingy little hut.

      Did I say say dingy little hut? I meant to say castle!!! (Or at least, part of one.) It was pitch black when we pulled in so we have no clue what our accommodation looks like. I'm sure we'll have photos to share tomorrow.

      Once we got in and situated, we put together one of the few appropriate meals when you're in a castle: a charcuterie board! (And if you're looking at the photo, NO we didn't eat it all, there's plenty for tomorrow... And potentially the next day.)

      We spent the rest of the evening doing some more planning for our trip before heading to our much upgraded bed!

      Just the one swan actually...

      8 Desember 2023, Inggris ⋅ 🌧 8 °C

      Today was our day to explore part of the UK's lake district. We had a coffee and left for the hour drive into the hills.

      First up was the nice little town of Ambleside. This town contains a 17th century house built on a bridge over a river to avoid the town's land tax. Very cheeky!

      After walking around the town for a little while, we continued up the road to the lakeside town of Keswick, where we took a walk to Friars Crag, a view that overlooks the lake. It was lovely and peaceful, and considering the rainy weather, we had great visibility of the lake.

      After another coffee the next stop was Aira Force Waterfall, an impressively big waterfall. While it was a lovely area with a great view, it was also annoyingly busy considering the time of year and the weather, so we didn't spend too long there.

      Finally, on the way back to our accommodation, we took a lovely road that was on the edge of the lake Ullswater. At some points the lake was only a few metres from the road. It was very impressive! (And lucky that the road hasn't flooded...)

      Once we were home we relaxed a while before making up the third and final charcuterie leftovers for dinner while watching the legendary movie: Hot Fuzz!

      Up hill and down (Yorkshire) Dale(s)

      19 Mei 2023, Inggris ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Nothing especially amusing today, but we do have a little bit of inside info for those who might be interested.

      It is apparent that there are a number of closet ‘All Creatures’ devotees out there, judging from the private messages we have received. It wasn’t our intention to devote any more space to this, but to satisfy the interest of said ‘Herriot-o-files’ here is a little extra we discovered this morning before leaving Grassington.

      After a full ‘Mrs. Hall’ breakfast - including some traditional Yorkshire Pudding which even Loss sampled, we went for a stroll around the village and came across a little street that looked (to our untrained eyes) as if it would be perfect for the series and both of us commented along those lines - cobblestone street, perfect looking little houses etc.
      As we looked further down the street we saw some activity happening. It was a group of tradies and people from the production crew of ‘All Creatures’ preparing another house to feature in the next series. It will belong to ‘Gerard’ - Mrs. Hall’s new romantic interest(!) They were preparing the house - external painting (replacing modern colours around windows and doors with appropriate shades of brown etc.) as well as internal furnishings.

      ‘Is it OK if I take some photos?’
      “Hmmm, you’re not really meant to….but I can’t see your camera…”

      Filming to take place on Monday. You saw and heard it here first.

      Our plan today was for another circuitous / scenic drive through the Dales. Again, it was fascinating to see the ever changing scenery and the amazing houses in little villages all jammed in together around the main road through town (which was often barely wide enough to fit the little Fiat through). After heading north and east through Leyburn, we headed across the more rugged part of the Moors to Tan Hill Inn - the highest Inn in England. A ‘signature drink’ Ginger hot chocolate was had before continuing on to Hawes
      - and the impressive sounding ‘Hadrow Force Waterfall’. This also laid claim to fame as being England’s largest drop waterfall.
      We drove in, paid our entrance fee and walked along the path towards the falls. With the hype about its vertical drop etc I was expecting a Niagara Falls type of experience, however this certainly wasn’t the case. Although very pretty, the water volume and height were relatively modest, perhaps more comparable to En Gedi falls (for those who have been) than Niagara - or even Fitzroy falls or similar, for that matter.

      Next point of interest was the Ribblehead Viaduct which is essentially just a photogenic railway bridge. We pulled over on the side of the road just long enough to snap a couple of shots, then it was onwards toward our main destination for today - the waterfall trail at Ingleton.
      This is a popular attraction in this area of the Dales. It is a series of waterfalls, gullies and chutes. The trail is about 8km and we took around 2 1/4 hours to complete it. Again, the falls were relatively modest but very picturesque and thoroughly enjoyable.

      We have settled into another very historic hotel tonight in Ingleton.

      And the weather has even warmed up a little - we were down to shirtsleeves for most of the day!      Baca selengkapnya
