Day 10

Met up with the Posh Bird from Wigan last night and did the meat pie and cheesecake in the Farmers Arms. Breakfast was not disappointing, good continental breakfast plus 2 boiled eggs then Boycie, Snapper and The Brief pulled in the digs car park at 08:15.

Unloaded Snapper and The Briefs bikes, also noticed that the van was minus the generator?

Made good progress and was soon weaving our way through the spiders web of Prestons one way system.


Then through Garstang and onwards to Lancaster. Quick diversion up a cobbled street and there before our eyes was Lancaster castle now a prison. Asked passer by to take photos who turned out to be ex-worker from the nick and Barrister Louise who had transferred from the smoke to the the same Chambers as our very own Brief.

But Lancaster was a Nightmare...got lost ..the old GPS Flight Deck got blocked out by the tall buildings and after going round in circles finally escaped to Carnforth where the Boyce was parked up ready to serve the now standard Bikers lunch; Pastie, Banana milk drink, carrot cake and Fresh Peach...This marked the half way point of the LEJOG @ miles 494 miles.

After Lancaster the terrain changed as we began to climb towards Kendal, the gateway to the Lakes.


Arrived at Kendal about 3pm time for early doors 4 Pinter sitting in the sun in the middle of Kendal people watching...

Its Kyber Pass tomorrow , I mean the Kirkstone Pass, so its out for a bite to eat and early to bed..
