Five travellers rollicking in the car
To go to the lakes and hills, 6 hours far
On a Vauxhall 5 -seater, word games we did play
Countries, nouns - Sat-nav guiding all the way
Garmin only 50% accurate
Luckily we were all graduates
Can find the way from Church Street to Hawkshead
The next morning adventurous breakfast with just bread
Then went to Grizedale forest - stepped on mud
Then to Lake Coniston where Donald Campbell's grave stood
Nasi beriyani dinner craving
Back to Hawkshead- roomate snoring
Next day off to see Keswick
Sun still shining but car sick
Checked into independent dorm
Pasta for lunch was the norm
Paid a visit to Castlerigg which is some other
Stonehenge's little brother
Climbed up Cat bells, highland utopia
Amy suffered acrophobia
Abandoned climb for high street walk
Played with leaf-race and just talked
Crashed in bed in the evening
Woke up raining next morning
Was promised trip to Pencil museum
If I came up with this Poem
After that to Beatrix Potter gallery
then had cakes, tea, coffee
Finally everyone - tired and done
Played word-games all the way to London
Bye bye Lake District you were nice too see
Keep for next time's memory
