Long climb out of Keswick, reached Windemere which is near to half way at 503 miles.
Proceed to Ambleside which was very pretty. Stopped for lunch at Milthorpe, where in 1880 Miss Rawlings on her way home from evening song fell into the village fountain (which is a hole in the ground). Protective stones ere then placed around said fountain, it was then concreted over in 1941 when a circus elephant fell in it and hurt it's leg.
Next en route was the town of Carnforth. Needed the loo and Brian wanted to look at the railway station. This was the setting for the classic film 'Brief Encounter'.
Bizarrely there was a 1940's themed day and everyone was in period costume!
We then travelled on through Lancaster to our stop off point of Garstag.
Brian was molested in a kareoke pub in Garstang in his banana shorts.
Decided not to stay there and stayed in the Royal Oak across the road.
67.9 miles
