ENGLAND FROM THE NORTH, PART II
After the joy & fun in Blackpool… here we are in Lake District, another step north near Scotland. We’ve arrived in the middle of the night at hostel in Helvellyn, just exactly like the movie ‘Withnail & I’ except that the hostel we went to not that rotten like the movie…
The hostel we stay was a real heaven on earth, in term of location and beauty! Our backyard nothing else but a small tarn running along the mountain!
We cooking our meal by ourselves while staying in Helvellyn and after we’ve enjoyed breakfast we set off for a big hiking. Our destiny is nothing but a small ice lake on top of the mountain. How long to get there? Well, man! I can tell you it two and a half hours walk!
And at the top! Here we are with a small lake that melt from ice… It’s was very beautiful and also very chilly too as the wind keep blowing so we decided to have a sip on red wine to keep warm ;-p
After the hiking trip in the morning at the late afternoon we went to Castlerigg Stone Circle, Keswick. Here the circle was probably constructed around 3200 BC, what’s a stunning story! Around here has became a sheep farm as sheep around everywhere including in the stone area too.
After spent 2 day in Helvellyn we moving closer to Scotland. Here we stop at the small Keswick town for a lunch. It was very quite and cute town. We stop at the local small reataurent and I have a small pork with honey sandwich while my friend try venison sandwich..
Then we heading off again and this time… here i come lockness monster, c ya ;-))
To be continue…
