Twas the 25th of June and to the
English Lakes we were bound.
Sparkling and braw was the Youth Hostel we found.
Morning weather was hopeful, but only for a
while.
By the time we arrived it was pissing down in
style.
The Lake was in front and the town to the North
The Pub was beckoning to salve to salve all our
drouth.
A Chinese was the order of the day, with a right
good meal had by all.
Simon found a bird. She was as short as he was
tall.
A youth Hostel breakfast (really!) was great for
the head.
Bright and early the dirty dozen off sped. (All
but tam who left his disc lock on!)
A ride over the Kirkstone pass should have been
amazing.
But the Fog came down and everyone was blazing.
The ride home descended to the usual fare.
With one going here and another going there.
We all made it back with stories to tell.
Especially Simon as he was the one who fell…!
