We’ve not long been back from a busy long-weekend in the lake District. Lots to Blog about so I shall post individual entires for each of the main topics, but overall James and Donna’s wedding went well and we had a great time, The location was perfect, the ceremony spot on and the reception etc...
We had another nice family day out on Saturday. I ‘needed’ some new technical clothing so we thought a trip up to Betws y Coed and the outdoor shops there would be good. I was after lots of things as usual, a really nice waterproof jacket for walking, a lightweight, waterproof for cycling, some waterproof...
Sorry, but I haven’t had time to write proper reports on our trip to the Isle of Man, so here are some of the photos instead.
