The sun's out again, which means only one thing - The Clio becomes a road trip pony and off I (we) go.
That time of year arrived that see's me and the GF heading off to the Lake District, and once again, you get the little picture write up.
An early start, 4:30 a.m. to be precise, and the Clio's boot was full and ready to go: (surprising what you can get in if you try).
After the 350 mile trek from one end of the country to the other, we arrived in the Lakes (greeted by sunshine to my amazement), and our lovely luxury lodge.
The view from the decking etc:
(No photos of inside the lodge at the moment, they're on the gf's camera).
So, after just chilling out on day one, day two arrived and we went out for a bit of a drive, finding some nice lakes, a waterfall and some nice views:
Day three, we decided to go to the beach (St. Bees to be precise):
Day four we travelled to Lake Windemere, where we hired a little motor boat and went chugging around
(Pics are on the gf's camera again)
However, on the way back we came across an awesome bit of road/scenery, Kirkstone Pass:
The next day, a couple of the gf's friend arrived, as they fancied a few days away, and we went and climbed a mountain with them: (some really amazing views from up here).
I went for a blast around a few more awesome roads too:
And lastly stopped off for a look over Ullswater:
My advice to anyone who wants to go to the Lakes, do it.
Some really amazing roads, great scenery and a must for RS owners.
The car was brilliant and only had one random morning where it wouldn't start. (Thanks to Tunst who nearly had to come out and tow me).
