I'd Rather Be in the Lake District
I have been camping in the mud and rain in North Devon last week (hence no updates as I could not find a wireless internet signal to use).

Limpets at Illfracombe [Tuesday 12/8/2008, my own picture]
Illfracombe lifeboat at the Illfracombe Rescue Day 2008. The search and rescue helicopter should have joined in but it was looking for a missing girl who had fallen into a river at Bude (and tragically drowned)

At last it stops raining for a few hours so we headed for the Woolacombe beach, a popular decision

We went for a walk in Exmoor that took us through a village called Hawkridge, we were after a cup of tea and scones, but the only shop in town sold Antlers [Sunday 17/8/2008, my own picture]
