2020 New Year...new plans

January. Hawes

What a good start to the year. We had a walk with the Vickers  families to the Green Dragon followed by dinner in Phil and Karen's van. Karen's Yorkshire pudding is great!
The next day I continued my early morning coffee and bird watching. What a lovely way to start the day....though I think this pheasant is getting cheeky.

February: Skipton, Silverdale and Coniston

A night in a car park...why not? Skipton council allow you to overnight and there are a lot of good things to look at in Skipton and a lot of good pubs which we didn't manage to visit. Another time...

After a stop in the car park of the Ship Inn at Sandside, which also allows overnight parking, we headed for Gibraltar Farm at Silverdale. It's a working farm with quite a steep drive down to the site but it's lovely. It's an easy short walk into Silverdale with great sea views. However, the wind was howling from the sea. Rain and wind lashed the van in the night and it felt like we were on a rough ferry crossing!

 We had a walk to Jenny brown's Point....not far.

 I had to hold on to the van to stop it blowing away. ......

Coniston

We had rain, hail, snow and a little bit of sunshine in Coniston. Everywhere around was flooded. There was so much rain, We got fed up of hearing it on the roof at night. But there were signs that spring is coming.
