Lake District, September 2023, Day 1 and 2

Packing went well and we were away by 10.30 and arrived at 3.30 in hot sunny weather. It was good be back at the caravan after such a long forced absence. It had been away having seals and the large front panoramic window replaced as the seal had gone in that. Unfortunately the window was on a product recall and had to come from Holland with the resultant post Brexit delays. The work has been carried out excellently and Swift paid for it under their warranty - wonderful. However, although we had the caravan back, we didn't have some of its equipment and so had no gas or running water. Carnforth Caravans came up trumps, though, and arrived next morning at 10.00 with it all. Also our very kind neighbours cooked our pizza for us so all was good. Because we had to wait in for the caravan man and needed to do some sorting out we had a lazy day on day 2 and contented ourselves with a walk through the wood and a BBQ followed by a walk up to our favourite tree.
