点评:This July will be my 3rd year at Heggs and I hope many more will follow.
The work that Liz and the volunteers have done to plant new trees and generally transform the landscape is nothing short of amazing - they planted so many trees in-between my 1st and 2nd visit I don't know how they've done it!
Reason why I love this place... the peace, the wildlife and the locals...
Peace because in my case I was with just my dog and my books - phone signal is patchy so mine remained off which meant truly switching off and got through many many books and even managed to teach my pup a few new tricks!
The wildlife because I was lucky enough to see a family of deer run across where I camped, everyday. It was like watching Bambi without the sad bits. You also have wonderful birds and sheep making visits.
The Locals because everyone from the walkers to the locals in the pubs are super friendly. The Walkers who stop for a chin wag are sometimes regulars who have some really interesting local info on Heggs and also the abandoned farm house on the trek to Reeth. The local pubs in Reeth are really friendly; The Kings Arms give you a dog bowl of treats on arrivals, The Black Bull is full of friendly locals and fellow tourists and The Bridge Inn does lovely food and ale. Also highly recommended is the Dales Bike Centre for breakfast / coffee. I've kept my walks to Reeth but will try the opposite direction this year.
Liz is a brilliant host, the first year when I turned up with all the camping gear but no idea, she gave me a map and helped with my bags to / from Reeth where I parked my car, pointed me in the direction of the best places to set up camp and in both years provided camping provisions inc. water, cooking and washing up equipment.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to switch off, chill out and enjoy life unplugged.
翻译:今年 7 月是我在 Heggs 的第三年,我希望接下来会有更多年。
Liz 和志愿者们种植新树并改造景观的工作简直令人惊叹 - 在我第一次和第二次访问之间,他们种植了如此多的树木,我不知道他们是如何做到的!
我喜欢这个地方的原因... 宁静、野生动物和当地人...
宁静是因为我只带着我的狗和书 - 手机信号不稳定,所以我的手机一直处于关闭状态,这意味着我真的要关机,读了很多书,甚至还教会了我的小狗一些新技巧!
野生动物是因为我很幸运,每天都能看到一群鹿在我露营的地方跑过。这就像看小鹿斑比一样,但没有悲伤的部分。你还会看到美丽的鸟和羊来访。
当地人是因为从步行者到酒吧里的当地人,每个人都非常友好。停下来闲聊的步行者有时是常客,他们会提供一些关于 Heggs 和前往 Reeth 途中废弃农舍的非常有趣的当地信息。Reeth 的当地酒吧非常友好;Kings Arms 会在您抵达时为您提供一碗零食,The Black Bull 到处都是友好的当地人和其他游客,The Bridge Inn 提供美味的食物和啤酒。同样强烈推荐 Dales Bike Centre 的早餐/咖啡。我一直步行前往 Reeth,但今年会尝试相反的方向。
Liz 是一位出色的主人,第一年我带着所有露营装备到达但毫无头绪,她给了我一张地图,并帮助我搬运行李往返于我停车的 Reeth,为我指明了搭建营地的最佳地点,并在两年内提供了露营用品,包括水、烹饪和洗涤设备。
强烈推荐给任何想要关掉电源、放松身心并享受不插电生活的人。
