The small pass was easy. Looking back to where I'd come from the north



Then a weeeeeee descent. I was so very early I figured I'd need to get into stalling mode so did what is every cyclist's privilege and turned the rest of the day into a Pub Crawl. Those car drivers can't really do that and hikers have too long between pubs. Cyclists don't have any such issues.

The Traveller's Rest was the first stop.




Look carefully at the bottom of the glass is a surprise



However a pricey pint. So then biked through Grasmere, which was heaving with old woman (they really need to raise the retirement age, plenty of fit people living off the state pension. Tut tut.

Then stopped at the Badger's Bar in Rydal.

Then bike through Ambleside, turned right towards Coniston then right again back to Langdale.



Then another pub stop at Wainwright's Bar in Chapel Style and by now its approaching 5pm, good time to head to the NT Campsite. Erected then biked over to the Old Dungeon Gyll pub. A very nice evening reading the newspaper with fellow outdoorsy people. I waited there til approaching dark and back to the tent for dinner and rest. A much easier more relaxed day than the previous 2 days.
