May 1st 2010 The best breakfast in Britain
After a nights VW van camping under the Bowderstone in the Lakeland Borrowdale we treated ourselves to the best Bank Holiday breakfast in Britain.
The Lodore farm in Borrowdale under Shepherds crag fries up a traditional English in traditional English style with added healthy. Apart from the overwhelming friendliness at the Farm, the position of this small piece of utter Englishness has the view you would probably have were you lucky to go 'up-there' as opposed to 'anywhere else' in the afterlife. The view is over Derwent Water to the mountains on the far side. Oh Joy! All this rustic charm, a charm that hasn't changed at all since the late 1970's when I first visited, combined with the calm, restorative lightness of being in the heart of somewhere totally healing.
We were in sunshine, whereas the rest of the country seemed to be in rain and it seemed to be one of those moments of complete frozen hapiness. Something that didn't go unnoticed by the other normally 'tick hungry' climbers around, whose reluctance to leave the café was only surpassed by their hunger for bacon butties soaked up in the bank holiday sunshine.
