just got back from a trip to #Cumbria / #Eskdale / #LakeDistrict

- I found two pubs that sell beer for less than £5/pint:-
- Ship Inn on Piel Island, delightfully hard to reach - either ferry or walk across mudflats
- Inn at Ravenglass
- The beer festival was fun (£5/pint)
- I wish FirstBus/Trenitalia would check tickets more often/at all so the people squatting in my expensive seat could have been moved on
- Very friendly and helpful campsite owner, all the taxi drivers seemed to know him

Apparently you can camp on Piel Island, but food is only served at the pub during the ferry service period. I overheard other customers who camped there with kids and it sounded exciting (there's a ruined castle there)
