Last day of the trip.

[Pudsey Bear]

We all know that feeling, on your way home after a good trip away even just a weekend, Liz is helping out at the shop tomorrow we have to sadly go home, I feel like dropping her off and continuing I might even do it, we've both had bad colds this week and nerves have been a bit frayed.

Ooh that sounds a bit like you sailing off into the sunset cos you have fallen out.

Only do it if you are not the one in the wrong otherwise it will be ten times worse when you go home. Or just do it anyway and report back. See what happens.

We've just arrived at Carrefour Dieppe for lunch (less than 2 miles from the Ferry), before booking in for the 18:00 sailing to Newhaven. End of an era, but will be glad to get back to Scotland to remove all the tools and kit we're bringing home.

Almost surreal feeling, but life goes on!

Sneeze up mother brown, me to cold and sore throat plus throbbing ear.
Try nuramol tablets.

We intended to do a south lakes but found the area around Workington quite nice.

Coming home today I really liked the A595 cracking bikers road.

Looks a great trip Puds, how long were you away?

 

[Pudsey Bear]

It would have been 3 weeks on Sunday Ral

I spent the night on Workington Harbour (or possibly Whitehaven) in the back of a vauxhall chevette and have always hated that area ever since.

Long story with a happy ending.

A Vauxhall Chevette Barry?

Shame on you!

Actually, Cumbria OUTSIDE of the Lake District National Park is well worth visiting. A different experience for sure from seeing the lakes, but interesting and being away from all the tourists as well is a bonus

Not much traffic either until you close in on the M6.

Shame on you!

They were kind of trendy if you had the coupe version in 1985. However it wasn't mine anyway.

It's always good to get a happy ending in the back of any car.

Ever so slightly off topic
Just checking ferry prices for my trip early[ish] October .
Newhaven crossing is £40 cheaper than Dover . Despite their ETS charge being £7 [Dover £3] , dog charge £20 [Dover £15].
Still to look at ferries to Spain in detail but dog friendly cabins seem scarce [as always]

Yes but I don't think you can beat Northern Spain, especially the Basque country.so try to get dog cabin if you can.

Not sure it is in the back of a Chevette on Workington Harbour, ever. Grim place and certainly not when it was my pal Richards.
