Write Up Lakes to Newcastle and back

[Mark Parrish]

We set off on Monday from Kendal where we had a place booked for 3 nights, Windermere was the first stop where we had a lake cruise then onto Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick then back to Kendal.

day 2 we set off from Kendal and made our way to Haverigg where we spent a couple of hours on the beach

Then on to Ulverston.
We then got on the A590 to A6 back to Kendal, the next morning we headed off to Penrith and picked up the A686 to Haydon Bridge and then onto Newcastle- upon -Tyne,

The next day we headed off to Whitley Bay, South Shields then back to Gateshead with a trip to the Metro Centre another day done.

after a couple of nights in Newcastle we decided to head back to the lakes to drive the A686 again back to Penrith

from Penrith we headed home 635 roof down miles in fantastic weather can’t wait for next wk end now.
