Fond Farewells

Our arrival in Carlisle might have signified the end of our walk but it wasn't quite the end of our holiday.

We all piled into a taxi and returned to our favourite B & B in Keswick where we had left our cars and already spent 2 nights. This was Seven Oaks B & B which we would happily recommend to anyone.

We had a great night out on the town celebrating the completion of the Cumbria Way and the fact that we were all glowing with good health having spent so long walking in the fresh air.


The next morning there was time to linger over our last cooked breakfast, and Linda at Seven Oaks does cook a particularly fine one. Then it was time to perform an important and enjoyable mission. This was a shopping trip. We all love outdoor shops and think Keswick has the finest selection of outdoor shops anywhere in the U.K.

After replenishing our supplies, it was time for me (George), Yorkie & Wooly to say goodbye to Isaiah and Dale, as they were staying on in Keswick until the next day, but we had to return back to Norfolk that afternoon.

Not only did we have to say fond farewells to our Suffolk branch brothers, we also had to say goodbye to a new friend.


This was Bruno, the Derwent Bay Bear who lives outside Seven Oaks. He has become such a good friend that we will be keeping in touch, and we definitely hope to stay at Seven Oaks again and spend more time with him.

Then it was into the bear mobile for the long drive home. We hope you've enjoyed reading about our Cumbria Way walk. Sadly there aren't any more holidays in the pipeline but there will lots of home news to share with you, so keep reading.

Lots of love George, Yorkie, Wooly, Isaiah & Dale xxx
