After the recent horrendous weather and flooding in Swaledale we were somewhat anxious about the journey today as we were travelling up the A1 and A66 close to Leyburn and Grinton. Our trepidation wasn't helped by the heavy rain as we were packing. Our climate now is one of extremes brought about by climate change. As it happened to travelling went well and the weather improved as we went. The only hiccup was traffic chaos in Kendal, Victoria Bridge being closed. It had been damaged in Storm Desmond and weakened further during yesterday's deluge. A month's rain had fallen in four hours.
Once at the site we were soon set up and enjoying a cup of tea. A walk out to The Tree was obligatory.
On our second day we pottered around the site in the sun and busied ourselves washing the caravan. In the evening we met friends Anna and Gordon for a lovely meal and catchup.
