So what happened today then? Well, it was our last day at the holiday home, so there was a frenzied morning of packing and tidying, stuff like that. We drove over to Peter and Therese's place again in Ambleside, and dumped any large or valuable looking items there. Borrowing Peter, we then headed over Kirkstone Pass (I assume), and parked the car (cars, really, there being six of us) at Glenridding. So, the first two pictures in the top row are two pictures M**** took from the holiday home. I had already taken a few similar pictures like this, but M**** wanted her own, or something. Next two were taken whilst waiting for the ferry to Howtown, whilst the fifth along was my delayed attempt to capture one of the many fighter jets we saw fly over us (as I realised/learnt too late, they always go in pairs, and sometimes in threes). We got to the only pub at Howtown (part of a hotel), and already A****** was fast asleep. I think he awoke during attempts to re-attach the carrier to my back, and wouldn't go back to sleep after - there was too much going on. So yeah . . . after lunch, we began a seven mile walk back to Glenridding, and the rest of the pictures are just various views taken during that time. About halfway through the walk, M**** and I began to worry about A****** and the total duration of walk and therefore time until his dinner/bath/bed/etc. With this in mind, we sped of in a separate group, but Mark/Maria/Peter were never actually that far behind. I suspect they increased their speed after we separated. And, erm . . . I think that's it, really. We got back to Lancaster at a reasonable hour and wolfed down portions of fish and chips (or sausage and chips in the case of M****).
