Day 8

image Parish Crag Bridge over Swindale Beck, One of many lovely historic bridges where it was easy to imagine the generations that had gone before

image Shap Abbey. A perfect place to sit on the river bank and polish off a punnet of strawberries

image Kissing the ground where the mighty Moss had cycled before us – much to the disapproval of a bewildered local resident who said "That's dishonest, that is!"

image Bridge over busy M6 – quite a shock after eight days of our relaxed pace of life. Very cheering to see Kidsty as a little blip on the horizon

image Slapping on much needed sun cream in the welcome shade of the ancient wall encircling Oddendale

image Propped up by new best friend – my Leki pole, by extraordinary road sign outside Orton
