<p>Christmas in the Lake District is everyone's idea of a great place at a good time. Travelling here is a different matter. I drove without too much trouble (detours on M62 due to an accident) to south of Blackburn where I knew there would be a fast charging station. I did have a 5 minute wait before one of the six chargers became free but I got charged.</p>

<p>The final hour of the  journey was uneventful and I arrived at the cottage just before dark. Gary &amp; Caroline had settled in about an hour before me. Our walk the following day was from the cottage front door up to High Dam.</p>
