71 miles today, cumulative total 547. Feeling really proud of ourselves. Day started hilly with final ascent up to over 400m at the Cross of Greet. Every up must be followed by a down so we were rewarded with a 40 mph descent. Still aspire to 50 but may have to wait for a scottish descent for that.
Started cool and blowy up on the top (van waiting with a brew for us) but sun was shining by the time we got to Kendal after a massive Sunday lunch. No one seemed keen to stop for mint cake so we moved on.
Passed Windermere, Ambleside and Grasmere, before taking a lovely quiet road past Thirlmere to avoid the A591. Lovely decent into Keswick for YHA night. Very peaceful by the river.
