Day 9 Penrith to Preston North

‎A brutally long day. 77 miles, 7,000 feet of climbing, (that’s over two Mount Snowdons!) and into a very strong headwind. 

Along the way we encountered several obstacles in the road that had to be circumvented including sheep, rabbits and a chicken (why it was crossing the road we do not know). 

It took between nine and eleven hours for us to get it done but we all somehow managed it!   Take away pizza at 10 pm as restaurant closed! 

A short blog today therefore for which I suspect my readership will forgive me!   

Lunch is served under the M6
  
We just love all those hills!
Stunning views.
