leaving carlisle after breakfast it was a steady slog up to penrith, intermitant showers. stopping at a garden centre for tea and scone.penrith we found a nice rather pc cafe/bar.
from here we had a very long climb up to shap summit.the leyland clock replaced by a memorial stone, to the drivers and crew of transport days gone bye.on the decent kellie neaded the call of nature,while she was gone looking round the trike i noticed the rear tyre was down to cords id worn it out,steady decent into kendal and search for a food stop climbing a curb the rear tyre gave up and went flat.lucky i was carrying a spare. repairing the tube, swapped the tyre and then kellie announced another plate on her shoe had broke,in to the nearest pub for food and to repair her shoe.
the leyland clock from shap was refurbished and stood proud in the gardens of the cinema complex in kendal .resited there during 1973 and refurbished 1996.
after sorting our problems ,we set of but kellie soon threw in the towel . wanting to rest for the night(time of month excuses accepted)
