点评:Been wanting to visit Kendal castle for a long time, so decided to go this morning, with our dog. Having read some reviews, it was unclear, is it a steep climb, or gentle climb. Only one way to find out. Well i think it was a steep climb ! Our big mistake was going in winter, after lots of rain. We parked up and set off up the steep steps, which were full of wet mud and wet leaves. Im just glad there was a handrail to give some stability. I feel the council should clear these steps, once all leaves have fallen ! I got to the top (and needed oxygen….joke !) I let our dog off his lead, took one step on muddy banking and slipped and fell. My husband came back to help me, but he was struggling with the saturated ground too. It was difficult to get back up on my feet, due to the unstable ground and nothing to hold on to. I did manage eventual, with only my pride hurt. I turned round and went back to the car, passing another dog walker on the way, who had also just slipped and fell, in a different area. All in all a rubbish trip, so wont be back anytime soon. And the next time, it will have to be summer.
翻译:一直很想去肯德尔城堡,所以今天早上带着狗狗去了。之前看过一些评论,不太清楚到底是陡峭的爬坡还是平缓的攀登。看来只有亲自去体验才能知道了。结果,我觉得是陡峭的爬坡!我们最大的错误就是选在冬天去,而且之前还下了很多雨。我们停好车,开始爬陡峭的台阶,台阶上满是湿漉漉的泥浆和落叶。幸好有扶手可以稍微稳住身子。我觉得市政部门应该在落叶全部掉落后清理一下这些台阶!我好不容易爬到顶(累得需要吸氧……开玩笑啦!),解开狗狗的牵引绳,结果一脚踩在泥泞的斜坡上,就滑倒了。我老公回来扶我,但他也被湿漉漉的地面绊倒了。因为地面不稳,又没有可以扶的地方,我很难站起来。最后我总算站稳了,只是有点丢脸而已。我转身往回走,路上遇到另一位遛狗的人,他/她也在另一个地方滑倒了。总之,这次旅行糟透了,所以短期内不会再来了。下次来,得等到夏天了。
