A Touch of the Lakes

Stainton to Dockray - 28 October 2023 This is just a touch of the lakes which means we are not going very far into the Lake District on this trip. Stainton is not far from Penrith and just off the A66 road as we enter the Lake District from the east. Dockray is a small village to the southwest of…

Not Quite Cockermouth

Cockermouth to Braithwaite - 5 August 2023 We have done routes from Braithwaite to Cockermouth in the past, the last time was in 2018.

Good Things Take Time

Shap to Pooley Bridge - 28 May 2022 Is there a saying along the lines of Good Things Take Time? If so, then it could apply to our routes this coming Saturday on the last weekend in May. We were last in the Lake District in 2019 but the last time we finished in Pooley Bridge was in March 2013.…
