So we had an early start so we could arrive at our destination at a reasonable time to walk the dogs. So it was no suprise when we turned up that rather than set up we just walked straight out. We found ourselves in the village of Coniston and a lovely little pub with its own brewery, well the sun was shining and who doesn’t like to sit outside with a pint. If you know me and Tim you will also know that you always do things in pairs “you can’t have one without the other” so of course a second pint was on the cards. What we didn’t say was that Tim chose IPA at 6% which I only had the one pint off. Anyway we were enjoying the second pint outdoors and the heavens opened and so we ran indoors. It continued to rain for the next hour and so we had no choice but to remain in the pub. To be fair only three were consumed.

The walk home was non eventful until Mabel (who was allowed off the lead) chased a chicken, I don’t know to this day if said chicken survived but it was harrowing. It was in someone’s garden than backed on to the footpath, they were running free and there was no fence. I was traumatised!

We arrived back at the campsite and had to start the set up which was interesting to say the least but we managed it. But it was fueled by beer and not as smooth as normal and lots of laughter! Much later and many beers later Tim fell out of the van and bumped his head on the table, but luckily the table is ok!!

So the note to self is, always set up before you go to the pub!
