1st day with a head wind today on boring A roads.
Gretna
The first stop of the day was at Gretna. The bakery served great food. It was tempting to order everything on the menu!
England
Penrith
Another coffee stop, this time at Penrith. The A6 between Carlisle and Penrith went on forever. It was good to have a break.
Shap
The day was saved by a fantastic climb to 1400ft at Shap summit on the A6 and the awesome descents that followed with speeds well in excess of 40mph. Great stuff!
Kendal
We had a great end to the day because the Hostel has turned out to be the best so far, ensuite facilities and friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended.
This is a short clip of our thoughts before we went for a curry and a pint!
