Cycling in Kendal -is it always this bad?

[Spinney]

I did say 'a lot' rather than all the time! I used to live just south of the lakes, and the weather is noticeably better now I live near Bristol!
I think you've got better weather up there at the moment than we have down here in the south west!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Kendal Mint Cake yet.

Impreza with an STi wing and extra stiffies

The larger Lakes towns can be a bit chock a block but plenty of quiet places off the tourist track.

I had a smile about the Impreza. I wonder what he is compensating for?

Incapable of fixing the puncture on his Raleigh?

I may begrudgingly accept the place looks reasonable enough this afternoon

No one's tried to kill me yet either - always a bonus

Just a shame that someone has gone and spoiled the view by parking a rather odd looking collection of steel pipes and wheels in the foreground. Did you not take your bike with you?

Surely that's because you're heading away from the place?

My LBS is about 150m straight behind your back wheel.

I had a good ride through Kendal (over that bridge in fact) today and it was very quiet and rather lovely.

Headed out to Milnthorpe which is always a nice ride.

The more I travel, the less I like leaving home these days.

Here here sir.

I'm sure that the good burghers of Kendal will be sorry to see you go.

I'm sure that the good burghers of Kendal will be sorry to see you go.

But only after they have taken your passport off you to make sure you never get back

Its a mobile lampost,Kendal is, seemingly,the only place to employ such.During WW2,they were collected, wheeled down to Windermere and turned on,in the hope that the Luftwaffe would flatten the Sodom & Gomorrah that was,and remains Windermere.They were last used recently at the Torchlight procession ,an annual event at which the locals make merry and burn an effigy of some chap called Ritchie.

I hope you kept on riding as Wheelbase came into view!
