2012 -Lakes Day in Penrith

Rather a quiet day spent all morning in Penrith waiting for the car to be fixed. Sensor was changed but now needs a new cat. thats going to be expensive and will take most of a dauy to fit. They dont have one and as it was afternoon before that was established the part cant be ordered until Monday morning so wont be available until Tuesday.

As we were told not to drive to far we stayed local for the afternoon but bored of Penrith (well Morrisons, Mountain Warehouse and Booths to be precise) we headed to Windermere to the Great Swim location to see what we were letting ourselves in for the next day. The conditions were choppy and a bit misrable. The place was almost deserted apart from a few members of the Great Swim staff that were happy to chat away. even helped by confirming that Octopush was a real sport, they were had been having a comp to name a sport from each letter of the alphabet and they were struggling with "O".

We left them there to go for a drink at the Low Wood Bay Hotel. very nice and not too expensive.

Another damp evening so after food we are sat watching more How I met your Mother (we have the first 5 seasons to watch before going home).
