Day in the Lakes

Hi there

I recently included a day out in the Shap area http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/466 with a visit to Gamelands and Maybergh Henge. Took about 5 hours, with a long stop for a picnic at Shap Abbey (and also a visit to the Chocolate Shop in Orton for my piggy friend!)

We started at Maybergh and then worked our way back down - you could also include Gunnerkeld, although I think the farm may have now been sold, so am not sure whether the new farmer is as friendly as the previous owners!

remember your waterproofs - the weather forecast for the next few days up here isn't that great!

we were at Gunnerkeld today and the farmer was ok. Path very muddy!

first time I've spent time at Shap - but it's only 20 minutes from home

It was bloody freezing (my arse is still defrosting)
