Friday 27th May

We began our holiday by going to Armathwaite to the Fox and Pheasant which we have enjoyed staying at a number of times when we travel up north, particularly to Scotland. The day was bright and sunny, the traffic was quite light and we made good time - we stopped off at Aysgarth Falls  and Brougham Castle on the way and had lunch there before continuing our route to the Inn.  Once checked in we ate in the pub restaurant and enjoyed a 'Traditional Fish Supper' which was basically a slightly swankier version of fish and chips. Very simple, but really enjoyable afteray one the road!
