🧵 🚐 MORE CUSHION FOR THE, VAN 🚐 🧵⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Yesterday I’d never attempted a cushion but now I’ve made two!⁣ ⁣ I’m pretty happy with my first attempts and I’m looking forward to getting busy with the van upholstery. I just need to build a bed first, and insulate, and carpet, and lay floor ...⁣ ⁣ Let’s just say there’s lots to be done. ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

🧵 🚐 CUSHION UP! 🚐 🧵⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I haven’t made much progress on the van lately due to the horrid weather but today I found the perfect material for the upholstery. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So I’ve started small and made a cushion, I’m pretty happy with how it has turned out and so is Jarvis. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

⛰ 🍻 HIKE RECAP 🍻 ⛰⁣ ⁣ Thursday’s hike was Mellbreak, this smallish Wainwright is totally independent and has great views over Crummock Water and Buttermere. ⁣ ⁣ We started and finished at the Kirkstile Inn before circumnavigating the fell, we climbed up and over from the South and then scrambled down the Northern side. ⁣ ⁣ Before this week I’d never even thought about Wainwright bagging but after seeing @my_wild_mountain_life tick this one off her list in the pub I’m definitely gonna climb them all!⁣

🧗‍♂️ 🌧 CATHEDRAL CAVERN 🌧 🧗‍♀️⁣ ⁣ On the last day of our Lake District trip the weather turned 🌧⁣ ⁣ So on our way home we decided to pay a visit to Cathedral Cavern at Langdale Quarries. ⁣ ⁣ After a sketchy drive courtesy of Google Maps we parked up and checked the map. There were FOUR quarries in a single grid square and we didn’t know which one was the right one 🤷‍♂️⁣ ⁣ We decided on a circular walk checking out all four, but the first one was a winner!⁣ ⁣ We explored the tunnels and caverns before stumbling across the spectacular Cathedral Cavern at forty feet high you feel very insignificant. ⁣ ⁣ We were blessed to have the cave to ourselves for half an hour before a few groups turned up. ⁣ ⁣ I really recommend a trip here, it’s perfect for a rainy day backup plan.

🧵 🐶 THANK YOU 🐶 🧵⁣ ⁣ Huge thanks to @alpkit Keswick. ⁣ ⁣ I popped in yesterday and asked if they could customise the boy’s coats with some elastic leg loops. This was done on the spot and for a super reasonable price. ⁣ ⁣ The boys wore their new coats today and the leg loops were perfect and kept the coats snug over their toasty bums.

⛰ 🐶 HIKE RECAP 🐶 ⛰⁣ ⁣ Yesterday was a stunning day in the Lake District. ⁣ ⁣ Starting at Buttermere with this bruiser of a Herdy we headed up Scarth Gap before summiting Hay Stacks where Jarvis was giving his best windswept look. ⁣ ⁣ Because of the wind we headed down over Green Crag before stopping at Warnscale Head Bothy where we met Alfie and his owner 😍🐶 and had a spot of lunch with one of the best views in the Lake District. ⁣ ⁣ Then we headed back to van and took a trip into Keswick for coffee and cake 😋. ⁣ ⁣ I hate that this stunning part of the country is so far away, I think there’ll be a part of my heart waiting here for my indefinite return 😍 ⛰. ⁣ ⁣
