Lakes 2022
Madness to set off when we did - the day after landing from New York, still to catch up with jet lag, we departed at 5pm for the first leg. Dogs, food, Michael packed up. A few clothes thrown into a bag. No maps! Imagine that - we forgot the maps. With a 10 mile… Continue reading Lakes 2022
