April 9 - The Lakes District, England

Up towards the scottish border is a district canvased by lakes called the lake district (they must have been up all night dreaming up that name) and one of my favourite spots in the country. And as the other lads hadnt visited the place since last time I was in England it was the perfect destination for a 1 day roadtrip. Home to Beatrix Potter, William Wordsworth, and the famous Sarah Nelson's Gingerbread (honestly the main reason for going) its a wicked place to go for a stroll - venture off the track and get stuck in a bogged gully - chase a few sheep and stumble back onto the track again, and have a drink for your efforts. The quaint villages and windy stone wall-lined streets always remind me of postman pat, so it just makes the place that much cooler.
