A fantastic dinner (eight courses, four of which were desserts 😛 ) and a little booze (to lubricate the brain cells 😯 ) set up the field of contenders for the Trivial Pursuit championship… Earlier in the evening, and well before we got to the awesome food and the boys beating the girls at Trivial …
Not dancing, not singing and not even “Minging in the Rain” this time! Today it was Dave’s turn to put Gene Kelly to shame… …with a bit of Swinging in the continuing Lakeland monsoon!

Homes are few and far between in the Lakes, but just look at this des res..... yours for just £75,000. (local occupancy applies)
700 years is a long time ...... we hadn't even started climbing then (well maybe Terry had). Anna and I visited Burgh by Sands where King Edward 1 died on 7th July 1307 for the anniversary commemorations. I wonder if he died because of the torrential downpour????

To round off an excellent day, except for hurting my thumb, we enjoyed an awesome BBQ on the shore of Derwent water… We even fed some of the ducks, check out Sarah ‘hand’ feeding them…
