LEJOG Day 6

LEJOG Day 6 down and I’m half way there Today was probably the best so far, we had good weather, some easy cycling, bar going over Shap and made it in good time. It was a bit chilly in Shrewsbury this morning but it brightened up during the day. There was a bit of a mix up with the routes, as we who were using Garmins went a completely different way to the route notes and thus missed the water stop before the midday climb up to shap for our lunch. So we stopped in Kendal for some coffee and cake to refuel and headed up to Shap. This was a 9 mile climb but a fairly easy up to an elevation of around 1400 feet but it also meant that once we reached our lunch stop it was all down hill anyway we’re in Carlisle this evening so tomorrow morning I’m back in home country and heading to Kilmarnock
