GREAT ESCAPE TRAVEL GREAT ESCAPE
Although Scotland might not have the temperate climate of other destinations, for us, it represents a haven of tranquility and peace, with a wealth of natural landscape providing ample opportunity for family adventures and the making of treasured memories.
Over the past couple of years, we had all rather fallen in love with this part of the world, which made it an appropriate destination for us to take our beloved little Eriba caravan on her final tour.
Promisingly, our departure from Essex was quite relaxed – with holiday haircuts complete, we were good and ready for a change of scenery and somewhat more invigorating temperatures than those we had experienced of late.
Crossing borders
The long drive to Penrith included food breaks and Lucy ‘dog stops’ aplenty ahead of reaching our £12 overnight stay at the working farm of Yanwath Woodhouse CL.
After a quick meal, followed by a brisk walk to admire some rather nonchalant Highland cattle, our holiday could begin in earnest – with the first of many highly competitive battles of Rummikub!
