Luscious Lake District and lovely Lancashire

Holiday is over. What a treat, a whole week in blistering heat in our beloved Lake District.

It was a week of leisure, combination of getting out and doing stuff, and reading Sandi Toksvig's novel on my birthday present Kindle. The doing stuff consisted of:

• Half-marathon run with Lakeland Trails.  Hot but I did it.

• Ascent of Helvellyn - descent including a refreshing dip in the beck on the way back to Gillside campsite

.

• Guided walk across Morecambe Bay

 

 

We did dust the bikes off one day for a ride through dappled sunlit lanes of Silverdale, fuelled by bread and cake from Arnside bakery (highly recommended).
