Anne Tyson's B&B in Hawkshead .
Early 8.15 start from 9 Elton Ave in Crosby. Followed the coast road through Southport and then the A59 to Preston – this had a cycle path most of the way. Of course once you hit the town proper, no more namby pamby cycle lanes and you become the ball in a pinball machine in which car drives think that shaving a few seconds off their journey is well worth putting the life of a cyclist at risk.
Now out of Middle England continued on the A6 onto Lancaster – got there at School out – chaos.
Once out of Lancaster continued on the A6 to the Lake District. Long slog up the A6 and then the A591. Then took the B5284 to Bowness. Crossed to Far Sawrey on the ferry and headed to Hawkeshead. Got there at 20.10 – 12 hours after leaving Crosby.
I went to my favourite pub – The Red Lion looking for a B&B and they directed me to Anne Tyson's B&B in the little lane across the road. I knocked on the door and they had a room at a reasonable £33.
A tough day with a moderate northerly headwind all the way.
Stats for today:
Distance 92 miles
Average Speed: 10.7 mph
Max Speed: 35.5 mph
Total Distance so far: 542 miles
