WordCamp UK 2012 – the journey home

/ General, Technology / , ,

We have a slight detour to our journey home – we are going to Lincoln via Manchester Airport to pick up Richard’s daughter.

So we cut across Scotland to the Lake District and the M6.

Here is where we stopped for a tea break.

But we had to move because of the midges – and here is Richard doing the midge dance.

We stopped off at Pooley Bridge in the Lakes for dinner.
