Sedbergh - March 2022

Drove up to Sedbergh on Friday. Nice house.

17 of us staying there. June cooked a really nice lamb stew in the evening followed by sticky toffee pudding.

Steve organised a great walk on Saturday to ease us into things.

Lots of very cute lambs.

Went out for an italian in the evening at Al Forno. They've started to wean Madeline.

I arranged a walk on Sunday followed by Sunday lunch at the Dalesman. We did quite a hard walk on Monday up a waterfall called Cautley Spout.

There was a bit of snow up there and splendid views of the Lake District

It was a bit much for Bobby.

Jane and Dave cooked a chilli in the evening. Walked to Dent and back on Tuesday. A walk of 2 halves up over the boggy top into a very strong wind then a sedate walk back mostly along the river. Heard an owl in the hot tub. Becky and Nick cooked an excellent vegan cashew nut and mushroom dish. Everyone sort of did their own thing on Wednesday so we did a walk round Sedbergh and had a pint in the Black Bull. We spotted a lamb on the way back that was bit distressed as it had got through a fence and couldn't get back. It started jumping up at us so I caught it, pulled it over the wall an reunited it with its mum. It was a number 19.

Had ace fish and chips for tea. Lost the snooker championship semifinal to Steve and Andy beat Stuart. Steve organised a fine walk on Thursday that took in the Lune Viaduct and pints of Loweswater Gold in the Dalesman.

They also make their own gin.

Had dinner at the Red Lion. Steve beat Andy in the snooker final in what was a very cagey game. Steve also recorded the top break of 18, blue, pink black.

We drove back on Friday, an exellent week away.
