Two fairly big walks in two days, so time to rest our legs. Rather than waste that time we decided to move onwards, north west to the Lake District.
We stopped in Kendal (of the Mint Cake fame) for a cup of tea at a cafe - or actually it turned into a large mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows on top, and a portion of chocolate cake :E

Parking was fairly tight - I got Sally to guide me back as close to the wall as I could get without hitting it with either the camper or the truck's tow hitch:

There is a really nice church in Kendal:


Then on towards our campground. This meant crossing Kirkstone pass, so we stopped at the top to check out the view. It wasn't a promising view for hiking:

I decided to stay in the truck cab, since it looked a bit windy out there too:

The campground was just below the pass, and was fairly empty:

But it had a very big advantage - a pub on site. It would be rude not to take advantage of that:
