Keswick16 - 19 Mar 17

One word describes Keswick: Wet! It rained. It poured. It didn't stop for a minute. It was awful. It was damp, dank, and miserable. The only bright spots were the Wetherspoons, which is a converted magistrates court, and Keswick Rugby Club, where we sat and watched Ireland's gamesmanship ensure a win over England in the 6 Nations.

On Saturday there was a knock on the door. The fantastic wardens at the Keswick Camping  and Caravanning Club site had come round to advise that Derwent Water would like to visit and it would be best if we evacuated as soon as possible, as not only was the lake rising, but the adjacent river was flooding and about to cut off the access road. We were very pleased to escape.
