Day 5 & 6 Lite Duties

Whilst Tom accompanied Dave on these challenging stages I found my own routes. From Patterdale I took the Ullswater Steamer to Pooley Bay and a lovely walk across to Shap along a bridleway. From Shap I took the first stage with Tom and David as far as Orton and then my biggest challenge so far Orton to Kirby Stephen by bus. I can tell you the espresso scene in Northern England is in good shape. Kirby Stephen provided the variety of an excellent Indian restaurant (The Mango Tree).
