Set off from Lancaster along the canal, slower than the roads but very enjoyable. We kept getting glimpses of Morecombe bay on the one side and then the lakeland fells further ahead. After we left the canal it was fairly flat for a while then the ups and downs of Cumbria started to make their presence felt. Weather stayed good all day. Ann put her shorts on!! Stopped to buy lunch in Kendal and then set off for Shap along A6, having done it once before we knew what we were in for, but had not found any better alternative route. We still managed to get to the high point without walking, but it is a hard and long climb. But every up has a down and this is a long down which was great. Arrived back in Eden Meadows just after six. A great day in terms of weather, views and being home.
