I'm in England visiting my family. Only in March everyone's spread out like a fish supper across the north of England. So, I took it upon myself to hire a car and simply drive everywhere. The great benefit of this is that I get to choose some of the destinations in between, including the supremely weird Port Merion, setting of The Prisoner series back in the 60s, and then, up to the Lake District to visit Crow Crag, or in reality Sleddale Hall, setting for much of the truly wonderful Withnail and I. I'd dreamed about it a long time so hiking up there was rather surreal, as if I was still dreaming it. It's been bought by a local pub owner and I hope that he can do it up and turn it into a cafe or hostel so I can go back and actually go inside it. Here's a photo:
