2012 - Lakes Day1

Today started early with the car going to the garage to get an O2 sensor fitted before we headed off to the Lakes for our yearly week long trip to take in some Wainwrights and this year we have the added bonus of both taking part in the Great Swim Series in Lake Windermere.

Having had the car fixed we headed North fully packed and ready for a week off work. Not too long into the journey the engine warning light came back on. After phoning the garage I decided not to go back after all I wanted my holiday instead I would phne teh RAC in later to see what the problem was this time. It turns out the car has two )2 sensors and the other one has now gone. Got to go to local garage to get that changed in  the morning. Thanks to the RAC man that has all been arranged

The weather on the journey up was awful which lead to the early postponement of Fridays 2 mile swims followed a few hours later by the Saturdays events, due to strong winds and choppy water in addition to rising water levels. Hope that the Sunday ones wont be cancelled.

We had a lovely late lunch in the Pooley Bridge Inn. The starter was to die for (baked brie). My Cumbrian Way was good but Andrea wasnt too keen on the wine she had. 

Anyway weather is crap so night in front of TV watching How I met your Mother Season 3 on DVD
