Returning Home

Image
The End !!! Left the Lake district just before 10:00am to return home in one drive after a most enjoyable month away in Scotland.

Kendal for 3 nights

Image
On Tuesday we had breakfast at a take away van by the Travel Inn, better than the motorway cafe before driving south on the M6 away from Glasgow. We finished the holiday with 3 days at Low Park Wood site in the Lake district. Just chilled out on Wednesday and went to Newby Bridge, Lake Windermere on Thursday our last day away. Windermere was very busy with day trippers and hot. Time to go home!

Working at Spring Cabs

Part of the trip was to call at Spring Cabs. We stayed at a Travel Inn  for two nights and Rosemary  had an open top bus tour of Glasgow in the rain while I did a bit of work on Admin2000.

Falkirk Wheel

Image
We drove to Glasgow with a long detour to see the amazing boat lift which is called the Falkirk wheel.

Skelamore

We took the Brodick ferry back to the mainland at Ardrossan. A nice big one this time with a gentle ramp. Went straight to Largs, which is a big boating centre for yachts sailing the western Isles and bought the new water pump (£25) which I fitted on site later. We had a night at a high site near Skelmorlie overlooking the Isle of Bute ferry.
