I have just returned from a weekend in keswick. Camped on the edge of Derwentwater, Camping and Caravan site. Saw a couple trying to swim, they looked cold! On Sunday night, in my tent, a gale with heavy rain raged at and around me! The wind came directly off the lake, I first heard a low roar in the distance, which became louder and louder as each gust came towards me. The POW!, BANG! CRASH!, it pummeled and punched my tent, the poles flexed and twisted, the roof bounced around, one side flexed in on me and I was convinced I was going to end up like Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ and would just get sucked up into the sky. The tent worked really well though, no damage at all. The storm went on and on like this until 4.00am, I was so glad when it became daylight! I didn't sleep a wink! Very exiting!
