The Kirkstone Pass and Caldbeck Adventure!



I can't remember now whether we didn't go walking on this particular day due to us being tired, Finn being a bit grumpy, or just because the weather was atrocious!   The whole day started off as a bit of a disaster - the views were non existent as we drove over the pass, and then we got very nearly to the end of a (very long) drive, when there was a crash/ road works/ obstruction (again, it was so long ago, that I have totally forgotten!) that we had to turn around and go back the way we'd come.   How we didn't just give up and go back to the caravan is beyond me!







The aim of our trip was to visit the Wool Clip, a yarny cooperative in Caldbeck, which Amanda had been following on social media.   Caldbeck is a beautiful, but tiny, village, which it took some concentration to try and find!   We weren't at all disappointed, and we did chuckle long and hard about the journey there - but only after a short duration of time.  At the time, it was frustrating and annoying!
