Yewbarrow – You bet ya!

Wainwright No. 122 – 2,058ft (627m) The decision to wild camp around the corner of the rendezvous point for the start of the walk served us well and by the time Clare and Tony arrived the eggy bread was underway and eagerly enjoyed by everyone! After a short faff, we set off on our walk […]

Campervan curry in a hurry!

Well… it would be rude NOT to use the campervan at least once during our half term holiday…. so we did!! On this occasion we decided to take Megan and William to the little wild camp spot Lay and I had discovered earlier in the year and do an overnight stopover in advance of a […]

Sunny Bank Sunday

What I really enjoy about living in the Lakes is sharing a dog walk with my Sister. Little and often seems to suit us both and we have swapped the weekly telephone catch up to a weekly walk (sometimes two). On this occasion, our walk took us around the familiar Sunny Bank circuit, taking in […]

While the boys play….

Whilst William and Lay were occupied playing football at the Ulverston Rangers GSK ground at Canal Foot, Megan and I decided to take Togo for a walk. As Clare has daughter-in-law duties in Ulverston on Saturdays she planned to join us for a stomp up Hoad Hill as soon as she was free. Megan and […]

Swarthmoor JFC

With the upheaval of moving from the south coast to the north west, changing schools, settling into our temporary home and starting a new job, we had left approaching clubs until mid-September. However, once underway with all of that, we set our mind to out of school clubs including finding a new football team for […]

Great Burney and Great Bridges

Today was a show and tell afternoon at school so parents could admire all the topic work each year group had produced over the half term. William’s year were proudly displaying their light projects. It was clear William’s efforts to make had not gone unnoticed as he got a second special mention. The year 6 […]

Hi-de Hi-de Hi ……. Hoad-e Hoad-e Hoad

It must have felt a bit like Butlins when a coach load of Pennington pupils descended (or should that be ascended) onto Hoad Hill for the morning. William and his fellow yr3 and yr4 classmates were luck enough to have a school trip to the iconic Sir John Barrow Monument and even got a tour […]

Back to the beach

Keen to share the beautiful beaches with Grannie Annie and Grandad (who we know would appreciate the vast sandy beaches given their love of Rhossilli Bay) we headed down in the van for a blow of sea air. The tide was abit further out on this visit revealing some really interesting wave patterns on the […]

Hello Yellow

Today is the first Pennington Families day since Megan and William started. The school has families instead of the usual houses where children across all year groups work together on school value projects. Today the theme of the day is ‘Hello Yellow’ in recognition of World Mental Health Day and to raise money for the […]

To the back of beyond

Whilst William and Lay headed off to Ulverston for a football party William had been invited to, Megan and I took Togo for a walk with Clare, Tony and Molly. I am not sure exactly where we went but we seemed to be in the gap between some of our more frequently trodden paths. We […]
