Sat 5th

Back on the A6 and managed to get in and out of Lancaster very easily. This was probably due to being there at 8:00 am. As we were progressing well we decided to continue our affair with the A6 and cycle up the long “Shap Hill”. We had an hours rest stop prior to embarking on this task which was just as well as after we started in rained heavily and continued to do so until we had descended the other side into Penrith. After much map reading we eventually found our campsite in the little village of Great Salkeld. This was our most rural and basic site so far. The food was provided by another Bell Ringer and his family and was up to the very high standard that has been provided by these very generous people. Thank you, all of you. Your efforts are crucial to ours.
