Lancaster to Ambleside - 40 miles



The morning departure started a bit cloudy after some early morning rain which I just missed. I gentle wound my way passed early morning dog walkers along the Lancaster canal towpath. Church bells were ringing and eventually I arrived in Carnforth. Then it was out into the wilder parts of Lancashire before the scenery changed again and I entered the Lake District of Cumbria. The lakes were busy with tourist and I tried not to run some Japanese ones over with my bike as I continued on to Ambleside. The Great North swim was on in Lake Windermere and I reflected as I had a ice cream and stocked up on Snickers bars.The sky turned decidedly nasty and having showered I had a beer and watched the rain fall over the hills.
