Day 7

This morning was a little more leisurely as we only have 45 miles planned though it is up into the lakes. Mark has stopped complaining about the wet night and is instead moaning about Chris kicking him in the head. It is a 1.5 person tent after all! We could not wait to leave the grotty campsite and managed to find a hearty breakfast and some tweed jackets to try on in Bob's discount clothing store. Photo's will follow. We enjoyed a leisurely pedal to lunch in Ambleside before our climb for the day over the pass to keswick. That was hard work with some of the roughest road surfaces we have ever ridden on but the views made up for it and the descent into town reminded me why I enjoy cycling. A night of comfort in Catbells camping barn and a decent lie in in the morning are amazing.
