Wink Lake District

Just returned from a weekend in the Lake District, fantastic top class lodge right on the shore of Lake Windemere, great weather & the B roads are brilliant for scutching around, you just can't go wrong!

Nearly lost it on a tight hairpin though. Car was great & stood up to the test!

We've been up to the Windermere area a couple of times in recent months, Scooby is the ideal car for the lanes, even better now the "tourist season" is slowing down.

Cannot wait to head back up.

Rob once you have a definite date let me know & I will book B&B.
