Thursday 28 July - Milnthorpe

Where's Bertie? He's back at Halforth Farm, by Milnthorpe, where he spent two weeks just a few weeks ago. Once again we've opted not to have an electric hook up, so it's £8.
Weather: Overcast with some showers.

The major road construction work immediately next door to last night's campsite probably wouldn't have disturbed us if it hadn't been for the almost constant 'vehicle reversing' warning sound that started not long after 7 this morning. Even so, the disturbance was minor enough that it wouldn't put me off staying there again.

That said, we didn't feel like we'd got good value, although the fault there was ours, having arrived and immediatley gone out, got back and gone to bed, then we got up this morning and soon after, we left. It goes against our usual mission on campsites to arrive early and leave late (albeit within the windows of acceptable arrival and departure times).

With a road closure blocking the short way back to the motorway this morning, we took a tour through the outskirts of Preston before stopping off at a supermarket and finally hitting the M6.

Within the hour we were pulling into this campsite, which on this occasion we're just using as a staging point to allow us easily to get to Coniston at around 9 tomorrow morning.

Not much has been done this afternoon. Mick has been for the last little jogette of his training programme (Couch to 80k in 8 weeks, as I called it, after his injury/poorliness isues earlier in the year), whilst I took a walk up and down the lane - there will be no running for me until at least the week after next.
