Yorkshire and the Lake District

Here's an overview of our next trip, 715 miles and 4 destinations - York, Scarborough, Carlisle and Kendal.  The weather has turned cold, really cold, but hopefully all this cold air will push away the clouds and mist and we'll have bright, crisp, perfect Autumn days.  Perhaps this is a bit optimistic?  Anyway - you'll be able to tell by the photos that get put up over the next week.

Half-term trip

By the way I'm writing this in York, we've just arrived and are staying in one of 6 cottages in a row.  We've got a stable style door that opens in two halves and it is freezing.  Although perhaps my definition of freezing will change as Autumn moves into Winter, this is probably quite balmy compared to what's to come.  We're about to head out the door to friends Ruth and Brian's for dinner, they're just 3 miles down the road, so not too much more driving for the day.  Tomorrow we're off to explore York!
