  • Several F-35s, an Apache gunship and a swarm of marauding starlings made this quite an interesting little van trip. And that was all in the first couple of hours! Stick with it until the walk around Buttermere for absolutely staggering beauty. What a place!

    Good decision about not drinking. Even being asleep in the back of the van entitles the police to breathalyse you. You risk a drink driving fine/ban unless you’re on private land.

    (respectfully) as a fairly casual cyclist, middle of the road because it minimises the risk of dodgy overtakes, means you can only overtake when it's actually safe to do so, you also avoid sudden drains and stuff like that and have space to move out of the way for potholes. (hope this helps) also cycling through the countryside is an experience like no other, although i tend to avoid riding in roads like this in favour of quieter back roads and do also tend to pull over if traffic is queueing up behind me

    What a lovely video! It was good to see Fenn again, and the second walk around the lake was great, I felt like we were walking along with you-if we had been we would’ve brushed that horse fly off your back! Watching Fenn swim to cool off was so cute! Thank you so much Glenn! And please consider longer trips- we so enjoy them! I have always wanted to visit England, and between you and “Goin Solo” (another English camper/ walker) I can finally see it!😁 Please tell Finn her American buddies love her- and her daddy, of course! You always give us a chuckle (or ten or more!) 😁🐶P.S. We are proud to be “Tail End Charlie’s” enjoying a breakie or a beverage with you!

    As a regular visitor to the area the roads are so familiar during the start of your vlog, and at first I was kinda surprised you didn’t go to Buttermere via Honister but in fairness that route to Moss Force for your initial walk and overnight is beautiful and worth the pain of the opposing traffic on the way up and ultimately going back via Honister made for a great circular route. That Apache you saw in the area was very likely Royal Netherlands Air Force, they are on exercise TAC BLAZE as it’s being called operating out of Carlisle airport.
