I then took some leisurely time out, travelling up to Yorkshire on Saturday, staying over, then setting out this morning and spent most of the day in the car as the moors were pretty much flooded. I did stop at Hawes to pick up some literature but the weather has been torrential rain up in the moors with plenty of localised flooding so not the best for camping in. I then returned back down the M6 from Jedburgh but the traffic was terrible and a large section of the M6 was nose to tail so there had obviously been some problems. Luckily I managed to get off in time and take a better route and saw some more countryside to explore (also the same traffic jam 8 miles further down the M6, so I thanked my lucky stars). So, all in all, a pretty productive weekend even if my plans changed somewhat.

So you wimped out! after all the advice about silica gel and freezer bags. Shame on you.
