A Weekend Away, Any Suggestions

[Dean Lofthouse]

Well, ended up in the Lake district, spending tomorrow in Whitehaven then will move further inland. Had nothing but snow up to press.

 

Priced Paris and New York and couldn't get anything under £1200 just for flights and accomodation.

 

Ended up thiking that i could have a right blow out for that price over here. Get pissed every night and eat top food and still go home with plenty of change.

 

Just watched the Amir Khan fight in the local pub, peed off that he won, wanted to see him get a right kicking.

 

What a beautiful place Cumbria is, we live in amongst the most stunning veiws known to man and never see past the end of our noses.

 

Locals have got a bit of a funny accent but hey, can't have everything.

I see countryside day in day out,

 

I sit in fields shooting day in day out.

 

I train dogs in the countryside,

 

I shoot pheasants and do shoot captain in the countryside.

 

I game keep, in the countryside.

 

I split logs, in the countryside.

 

I live, breathe and eat the countryside

 

Sometimes a man just wants a bit of clostrophobia every now and again

 

Fair enough mate - I live in smoky ol' Bristol so I run for the hills when I can!

 

Glad you're having fun in Cumbria though.

I know the whitehaven area quite well. Sister lives in cockermouth. The quieter side of the lakes, stunning.

 

 

Enjoy

i avoid cities like the plague. I'm heading up to the lakes tomorrow, will maybe get a new mountain bike. Zest cafe in whitehaven is supposed to serve really nice food from what I've been told.

Which one is it, I'll have a spin.

 

We,ve booked in at the White Swan Hotel, Newby Bridge, very plush and expensive, £155 a night, helicoptor just taken off from back lawn.

 

I think helicoptor usage may be included in price

I've stayed there about 8 years ago. Cost me a lot less than that

Got a deal, £99 a night for two nights

 

Just asked if they had any specials on.

 

Everything you need for a chilled out weekend is here.

 

Surprised you got past security Ed

[Mr Ed]

We got a similar deal. We stayed in the little cottages they have.

Security would know better than to try and refuse me entry....
