Left the police HQ at Preston where I stayed and went north via Lancaster. Winds yet again against us. After 50 miles arrived at Kendal in Cumbria where I had a good pub lunch. From there went up into the Lake District. Sun was shining and the views were fantastic. Arrived where I was overnighting at Kentmere - staying in a bunk house (6 to a room)! Although very basic it was great to have left the cities of the North West behind and I'm now looking forward to tomorrow in the Lakes and then on to Scotland.
