The Stag Weekend

Last weekend we headed off to the Lake District, somewhere near Keswick, for Glenn's Stag Weekend. We left early Friday, getting there about midday. We got set up in the campsite and played a bit of cricket and football while having a few beers.

It got a bit windy, which carried on into Saturday, when it started to rain. This meant the paragliding was called off as the winds were too strong. Also the paintballing was no good as the guy hadn't booked it. Which meant we went go-karting instead. Before that we headed into Keswick for supplies and to get some food.

We played a bit of cricket when we got back, but it started raining, so we headed back to the tents and set up some shelter. We headed to the go-karting after that. Glenn was a bit worried but everyone had a great time. I only came 6th out of 9 though, so not so great. We stopped in a pub on the way home for some food (excellent lamb) and a few drinks while we watched the football. There was also a games room, so darts, pool and table football filled the boring bits of the match. Once we got back to the site the beers came out again and the shelter had to be reinforced, but despite the rain it was a good night.

Sunday we headed home about 12, taking a long and winding route, which took about 3 hours. It was good to see Viv again and apparently the girls night out had been pretty eventful, with Viv yelling abuse at some woman in a hotel who'd thrown water at them, and a few other little stories.
