@tedandlolasonlyvans stayed in Witherslack @mosshowecampsite for a couple of nights and had the best time exploring in Cartmel.
@caza321me found Dragon the Polish cockerel in one of the hydration stations we visited but had to leave him there to do his duties! @ian.bennett_
Dragon lives at the Royal Oak in Cartmel, where we popped in after L'Enclume. Annette and Ceri made friends with him and some of the other fancy birds.
Ian had a new Seestar smart telescope delivered to the campsite, and we got a decent clear night at Moss Howe to try it out. Once the sun went down it came out on its tripod for a few captures of the Moon and the stars, including the Crescent Nebula in Cygnus.
Ian's more detailed astro pictures are on his astronomy site, uv101.uk, and the story of this first night is at uv101.uk/posts/2026-09-23-day-one.html
