Felt we were in danger of drowning, so with the rain still falling, we decided to call it a day and head for home, calling in at Kendal town for some last minute presents.
Journey back was horrendous as it did not stop raining until after Birmingham. An accident at J13 on the M6 forced us off the motorway and through Stafford, which was probably worse traffic. Got back on the M6 only to be held up in roadworks for another hour. We are not used to all this!
Anyway, we have completed the northern leg of our coastal journey, which lasted 71 days during which we drove 3,419mls.
There were many highlights, but perhaps the most lasting one was the north and north west coast of Scotland, which is truly beautiful, with its lovely bays, pure white sand beaches and glorious sunsets.
We were blessed with the driest spring Scotland has had for years, with long sunny days and very little wind, so I suppose we did see it at it's wonderful best. Would we do it again? You try and stop us. Now we've started we may never stop!

Clean and polished - ready to go - again!
