Arnside

We had a few sad goodbyes as Bertie was going home to Bristol with Andrew then we set off west.

Found a big hill over Whin Brow with lots of cyclists. We were going really well and stormed down to the seaside at Condor Green for a pub lunch, a giant chicken sandwich. We then rode up the coast to shop in Lancaster then made it to a tea shop at Leighton Moss at 16:30. It was then just 3m to the hostel at Arnside where the rain started just as we arrived. Great day out.

Edmunbyers

It rained through the night and was much colder when we set off. The day started with a climb up the A686 but soon turned in to a long fast ride down to Haydon Bridge. We then used the B6319 and some back roads to reach a pub for lunch at Warden. A quick shopping session (sun very hot here) in Hexham then we started a long long climb up to Juniper, Slaley Forest and eventually to a tea room in Blanchland at 16:30. After tea and a cake we had a quick ride around Derwent Reservoir to the hostel at Edmunbyers.
