Up hill and down dale all the way to Penrith and then a gruelling 11 mile up to Shap, 1030ft above sea level. Then up again to the summit. They reach speeds of 40 miles an hour on the down hill, Paul doing a no hander in celebration after the long, long up hill. Kendal to Lancaster is lovely but rolling every new ascent seems a little harder. Decide to look for somewhere to stay near Garstang.
Another good day travelling to Garstang via Shap, the high point that felt like being on top of the world. Scenery absolutely stunning. Another beautiful day, very very hot though!
Stay at the Priory in Scoton just north of Garstang, a real cyclers pub/hotel.Comfy beds, massive bath, great grub. Best breakfast yet says Paul!
Chris, Ruth, Lynda and baby Alex wish them well and think the "mighty duo" are doing a fantastic job.
