It’s a long way from the Lake District to Cambridgeshire, so we stopped off in York (third trip this year) then carried on to Mildenhall, a forest site, which is near Cambridge – the Cambridge site was full.

The Lake District was two days good, two days wet, that west coast mountains thing again.

When it was good, it was spectacular.

If you look at the banner, you’ll see this looks better as a panorama, but panoramas just don’t sell.

Of course it was busy.

The ubiquitous Asian teens with selfie sticks. The geese aren’t impressed.

DINKY lifestyle.

Ambleside’s major postcard pic.

Then it was on to York, where we had the most amazing weather. Never seen York like it before!

We’ve done this one before, but without leaves.

We were a bit miffed recently to find that, although we already have 10 photos of the city walls, someone had searched through hundreds, looked at 10 of them, but none of them were ours. So, determined to put that right, we walked the full length of the walls, and took some more.

This is right in the city centre, just looking the other way from the one above. I quite like it, looks like it is out in the wild.

Never seen this bit before, built during the Roman occupation.

Colin has named this, Old Aged New Ager Walks the Walls.

What are the arches for? Storage?

I think York is probably the loveliest city in the country.

Hadn’t seen this before. I read about in a detective story set in York, this is where the body was found.

There is even a Betty’s. We didn’t go in. You can have a cream tea for £9.95, which is a pot of tea and two scones with jam and cream. No way could either of us eat two.

It’s nearly Autumn, and those flowers are past their best, but still, makes a different shot.

It was really lovely, just wandering around the city, everyone out having a good time.

So, that was York, onwards to Mildenhall. I can’t say that I like forest sites, they are always filthy underfoot, and that gets trampled in, especially when it is raining. I am forever cleaning the floor. Oak trees drop acorns on the caravan roof, with a loud clunk. Rain drips off the trees onto the caravan roof, even when it has stopped raining. No shower block, no wifi, no mobile phone. We had three nights here, it’s close to Bury St Edmunds, which was very nice, but dreary weather, Ely, which was quite pleasant, and a USAF base, so lots of interesting planes flying out. Colin likes to identify them from the sound alone, then jump out to see if he is right.

It’s the biggest cathedral in the country, but not particularly attractive. It looks better in this photo than it really is.

We have now moved on to Cambridge itself. We can get the bus into town from just by the campsite, and use our bus passes at last. They don’t work in Wales and Scotland! It’s dull today, so we will probably go out camera free and look at the shops.
