We headed to the Lake District national park in our VW California T5 campervan for the Lakeland festival of light in Keswick.
Little did we know, a named storm, Kathleen would cancel the event and leave us to hunker down in the van with 70mph winds!
Burns farm campsite was our destination and we timed it perfectly as we got to see a baby highland cow called April, 4 days after her birth. There were also baby lambs in various fields and we weren't too surprised to find we were the only campers in our field, with only 1-2 tents in the neighbouring field. A few motorhomes and caravans in the electric hook up pitches but overall, it was a fairly relaxing trip with a pub tea in Threlkeld for finish saturday off.
Sunday we headed to Derwent water where the storm really showed its strength, rocking boats on the waves, throwing spray across the pathways and soaking visitors but, this area of the UK is always beautiful no matter the weather thanks to the Lakeland fells and surrounding farmland.
