Many thanks to Paul and family for another great stop over at Takoda Camping last weekend. (Location of the Back 2 the boil ABR rally)
The NEW bacon butty building and coffee grinding facility, is worth diverting your day out for. Forget Devils Bridge and their soggy bottom barms, Turn Off at Takoda for a restful chat and stay a while.
We had a couple of days of fantastic weather and the site was a pleasure to camp at.
Even better was the pub in town where you can take your take-away.
Having ordered a curry from across the road, The White Lion landlord supplied plates, cutlery and a bin for the wrappings, even the sign welcoming pet dogs and ferrets was welcome as our two pooches sat waiting under the table.
Eating out as it should be. As our host said "We have the best menu in town".
Kirkby Stephen is a little off the M6, but a great place to visit and Paul will soon give you some great routes to follow.
Even better, he offers guides ride out.... bonus.
This time Mrs R2 and some friends were in cars.
In the words of one Terminator...... I'll be bac-on....

+1 to that. We called in on the Saturday for a cuppa. A warm welcome and a good chat with Paul.
I'll get up there this year for a camping trip.
Cheers Dave.

I've been to the cafe at Slaidburn plenty of times, usually bikers there enjoying a brew and a bacon butty.
Maybe I'll try Takoda next time or both!
