He does come back ...

My Dad is like a boomerang ... I post he's off on his travels and then forget to post when he's back. Anyway he does come back !

Delemere Forest was a bit wet. In fact one night the tent resembled an Ark as it was surrounded my water ! It wasn't raining in from the top but lapping up over the door ! Anyway after a bit of drying out the following day they were fine.

Dad went off in search of and eventually found the Eureka Cafe - or as he likes to call it Ikea!  I was starting to get worried when he said he'd had breakfast in Ikea as I had visions of him cycling along the M62. It wouldn't be the first time he'd got escorted off the motorway.

He also found a boat museum which he thought was on Manchester ship canal. It was in fact the Shropshire Union canal!

It wasn't the driest of weekends ... but what did he expect for a Bank Holiday weekend !

The bike is out again

Well Dad has gone off on the bike for the weekend and the rain has made an appearance. He's camping at Delamere Forest. He managed to get the tent up and then, in Dad's words "it hammered it down". It rained that much that outside the tent had flooded ... so I suppose the tent was more like a boat !  When I spoke to Dad the tent hadn't rained in but there is still time !

The ride over to Delamere had been mainly rain free ... with about a half hour when the rain gear had to come out.

Camp site is quite busy, but I suppose that's because it's Bank Holiday weekend. Got a good spot up by a hedge, so if wind picks up tonight they will have some protection. Highlight of the evening was the Fish & Chip van and the pub is a bit too far to walk.

Tomorrow he is off to the Eureka Cafe ... well he is if he can find it again !
