Its still in one piece so hopefully they won’t let it become derelict. The campsite is still operating although nobody was there when we passed through.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-21712967203065346302015-01-04T12:55:49.676+00:002015-01-04T12:55:49.676+00:00Hi Alan.

We had a dinghy and had a whale of a time. Happy memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-74683496430364094692014-12-30T13:49:54.671+00:002014-12-30T13:49:54.671+00:00Thank you Gibson.

I am hopeful that the knee is on the mend, it doesn’t ache as much as it did a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for asking.<br />Braithwaite funnily enough is a place i have never stayed at. I’ve been there and passed through it a number of times though and it is a lovely place.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-57270146383491016992014-12-30T12:47:51.836+00:002014-12-30T12:47:51.836+00:00Great photos Alan.

We still exchange Christmas cards with the people we rented a caravan from and who always invited us into their house for a New Year drink. Lovely people. Hope that knee gets a move on and recovers soon.afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-19435890339885714082014-12-30T11:43:52.183+00:002014-12-30T11:43:52.183+00:00Must crack on with a couple more reviews.

I walked about 10k without any problems so I am optimistic that a few more short walks will prove it good enough to get back into the hills. Sorry to hear you are suffering too. There are lots of virus's about that seem to be causing muscle tightness so keep on the aspirin as this will relax the muscle. Get well soon.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-969895269700325562014-12-29T14:30:01.804+00:002014-12-29T14:30:01.804+00:00Brilliant Alan.
