Ok, not famous, but we do have Timothy the dog, and there are five of us.
Late September and camping in England are not two things I thought I would ever link, but there you are, life is full of surprises. A week beforehand watching the weather forecasts and continuously lowering our threshold of what constitutes acceptable weather, we finally settled on anything that wasn't blizzard conditions and set off on Friday 28 September, for the northern reaches of the Lake District for a weekend at Wasdale National Park.
The trip was part of Levi's 10th birthday celebrations, and we chose Wasdale because it was the closest camping site to Scafell Pike, England's highest peak. Levi has seen mountains in the clouds on our previous trip the Lake District, and desperately wanted to climb up 'into the clouds'.
At 978m, Scafell Pike is no 'Everest', but it still looked like an ambitious undertaking for our novice bunch of old and infirm parents, head cold stricken Pepi and over enthusiastic Levi and Timothy.
