Monday 19th September: Rain and more rain!

We woke up to the odd patch of Blue sky, so set off to Whitehaven to do some shopping, snapping this view of our favourite house on the lake

The rain and clouds closed in after that and we had a wet drive to Whitehaven, and subsequently to Gosforth where we had a very nice lunch at "The hungry parrot eatery" before heading back to camp.
We spent the afternoon in the van then drove to Penrith before passing down the western side of Ullswater

At least the sky had started to clear a little, there was even the odd touch of Blue!

We turned off for Ambleside in heavy cloud and dropped down the hill aptly named "The Struggle"

Before returning to the caravan.
We had a pretty good day despite the rain!
