Eventually I emerged into Wasdale, where I'd be camping. A stunning valley, fairly quiet and frequented by mostly hardy/foolish/wise types.
A rather wind-swept heavily sweated cyclist ruins the view
Whilst the hills had been steep, I'd only really done about 20 miles and wasn't many hours, the NT Campsite at Wasdale Head was not open yet for cars, but us green tourists can get in, I pitched tent
After the ride I mapped it

and then headed to the pub for my first of four lots of Fish & Chips.
and vital rehydration
Biked back to the campsite before dark when the shop was open.
