Derwent Water

Setting out very early, I managed to find a delightful single lane road meandering around the edge of Derwent Water. At last, I thought, I had escaped the hideous tourist hordes. I paused a while to admire the view, take some pictures, breathe deeply the crisp morning air, embrace the majesty of the moment... I returned to my car and drove on at a leisurely pace for half a mile or so, before running up against the rear end of a caravan, attempting to manoeuvre its painful way over hump backed bridges and implausibly narrow lanes. Now I understand what Jeremy Clarkson is on about!
